Premises Upgrade 2007

Our major premises upgrade project commenced on 8th January 2007.  It involves replacing the one-storey flat roof area currently housing the Reception, waiting Area and Admin office with a two-storey structure to link up with the existing building.

What the upgrade project will provide:

The upgrade will provide a two-storey structure with a new pitched-roof to link up with the existing building. It will provide a new Reception, Waiting Area, 5 consulting rooms, 3 examination rooms and a larger pharmacy on the ground floor. The Admin Office, patient records room computer server room will be relocated upstairs to release the much needed space on the ground floor for patient care. The new larger Health Education Room will be used for ante-natal classes, group smoking cessation classes, group psychotherapy sessions and baby drop in clinics.

The existing health education room will be changed into two consulting rooms for either doctors, nurses or a psychotherapist/counsellor. This will also allow us to be more involved in the training of GP Registrars and medical students with the spare accommodation for an additional GP Registrar and medical students.

Staff and patients will benefit from having a comfortable waiting area, a new reception which meets the Disability Access legislation, a larger pharmacy which will provide personal and confidential consultation and more multi-purpose consulting rooms.

Completion date:

The upgrade project is due to be completed on 14 September 2007.  On Monday 17 September 2007 we would welcome our patients to use our new improved facilities.

Thank You

We would like to extend our sincerest thanks to the patients, staff and visitors who have endured the inconvenience caused during the building period.
