In addition to the GP practice, this exceptionally busy health centre is focused on a range of children's services. Given the number of young people and children using the facility, very careful consideration was given to the design. The outcome is outstanding and what could have been a noisy and tiring working environment is in reality a relaxed and calm space.

St George’s Surgery
Blackburn, Lancashire
Our consultative approach enabled us to listen carefully and fully understand the exact needs of the GPs at St George’s. We took on board their wish for a building that was simple and accessible for their patients. We responded by creating a carefully designed centre, which operates around a central waiting area.

Pennygate Medical Centre
Hindley, Wigan, Lancashire
This large practice with its substantial patient list risked becoming congested. To overcome this we created a separate prescription desk as well as a flexible main reception area and administration office. The expansion space incorporated into this sizeable scheme has been highly beneficial, being put to excellent use as a fitness suite, enjoyed by the Hindley community.

Norton Canes Medical Centre
Norton Canes, South Staffordshire
Since the scheme opened, the GPs’ patients highlighted a need for an onsite pharmacy to satisfy growing demand. Once again, our policy of future proofing our buildings has proved very beneficial and a Co-operative Pharmacy has now opened in part of the expansion space.

Barley Clough Medical Centre
Glodwick, Oldham, Lancashire
For many years, the doctors at Barley Clough had worked with another developer, but had struggled to find a suitable site for a new development. UHD was invited to find a solution and we quickly used our lateral thinking skills, utilising a traffic island, opposite the old surgery.

Wrenbury Medical Centre
Wrenbury, Cheshire
The Wrenbury practice was initially designed for one GP, with a long-term vision for future expansion. The practice has now been expanded to three GPs without any restriction on services or disruption to the daily routine. Additional expansion space still offers further flexibility for growth.

Longtown Medical Centre
Longtown, Carlisle, Cumbria
Our initial brief was to design and build a centre for two GP practices with the flexibility for them to join together at a future date.
In 2012, the two practices amalgamated and the design made the transition possible without any additional or expensive construction work.

“Delivering a modern, attractive, environmentally friendly building to suit the needs of the local community is exactly what United Healthcare Developments have succeeded in doing. Both staff and patients alike have been overwhelmed by the practical and effective facilities available.
There are plenty of car parking spaces, a must for a health centre of this size, along with bike racks and easy pedestrian access. My experience of United Healthcare Developments has been very positive and I would like to thank them for their continuing support and aftercare service.”

Margaret Baines, Practice Manager, St. George's Surgery, Blackburn
“Your dogged determination during difficult negotiations proved essential to the success of the scheme. I am delighted, on behalf of the Doctors and the local community, to thank you for all your hard work.”
Kath Fenney, Practice Manager, Pennygate Medical Centre, Hindley
“It was not an easy task to build a fantastic state-of-the-art building on land still being occupied and used on a daily basis, but United Healthcare Developments managed to do just that. From beginning to end the whole team have been so professional, very helpful and a pleasure to work alongside. Norton Canes community has never had a facility like this and all the positive comments are a pleasure to hear. Thank you UHD for giving us all something to be proud of.”
Angie Webb, Clinic Co-ordinator, Norton Canes Medical Centre, Cannock, Staffordshire
“From concept through to completion your team has been thoroughly helpful and completely professional. We now have a state-of-the-art building from which we, and a host of other professionals, can deliver high quality medical services to the local community. Our patients are often voluble in their praises of the centre and I would like to thank you and all your team on their behalf.”
Dr John Poyser, Middlewood Medical Centre and Polyclinic, Sheffield
“The practice is delighted with both the high standard of the development and the increased range of services now available to our patients.”
Mrs Trisha Walker - Practice Manager, Meltham Village Surgery, Meltham
“It was important that we chose a developer that would listen to us and deliver what we wanted and not what they thought we needed. UHD did exactly this. They listened to what we said and the building reflects this throughout. It is exactly how we imagined it would be and delivers everything that we hoped it would deliver. Once the design of the building was agreed, we continued to be involved throughout and received vital support from UHD at every stage. Practices only go through this process once and therefore it is important that you make the right decision from the outset. Choosing UHD to provide us with our fabulous new building was definitely the right decision. It has ticked every box for us and has given us a building that will enable us to develop new services and change the ways in which we work, in what is now a competitive market.”
Alison Wallace, Practice Manager, Lees Medical Practice
“The high standard of construction, internal design and attention to detail are evident throughout the building. The managers and doctors were included at every stage of the design process, which meant that we finished up with the building we wanted. I would definitely recommend United Healthcare Developments to any practice considering new premises.”
Paul Cunningham, Practice Manager, Barley Clough Medical Centre, Glodwick
“The enthusiastic drive and accessibility of UHD’s managing director together with his efficient professional team have enabled the project to progress successfully whilst keeping the project board fully informed and consulted at all stages.”
Dr Graham Davenport, Wrenbury Medical Centre
“We wanted a building to see us through the next twenty years and we have just that. We have a very attractive but entirely practical building, fit for our purpose and with low running costs built into the design. Environmental issues have been considered all along and we are particularly delighted with its geothermal heat exchange system. It is much more effective and practical than we ever thought possible. Can’t praise United Healthcare Developments highly enough.”
Dr C D Baker, Longtown Medical Centre
“This team approach, initiated by United Healthcare Developments, was the fundamental to the success of our scheme.”
Annita Langley, Practice Manager, Kingswood Surgery, Harrogate
