The new Chiswick Health Centre, part of West London NHS Trust, has officially opened, providing a modern, purpose-built space, designed to transform local healthcare and wellbeing.
Since opening in March, the £23 m facility has already cared for more than 14,000 patients. It houses three GP practices – Chiswick Health Practice, Chiswick Medical Practice and West4GPs – alongside Chiswick Primary Care Network staff and services. It offers expanded GP services, mental health support, and community-led wellbeing activities, while also building close working relationships with local secondary care services.
Built with sustainability in mind, the facility incorporates solar panels and LED lighting that have achieved a 77 per cent reduction in carbon emissions.
Its opening was marked at a community celebration on 11 September, attended by local leaders, NHS partners, and residents.
Cllr Tom Bruce, Deputy Leader of the Council and Cabinet Member for Assets, Regeneration and Development, said: “This modern facility not only offers a central hub for health and community services but also includes the provision of 55 social homes.
“Over £1 million in Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) funds were allocated by the Council to support the practical implementation and temporary relocation costs of this project.”
Kieran Kinsella, director of Advisory Services at NHS Property Services, said: “The delivery of Chiswick Health Centre is a proud achievement for NHSPS and a clear example of how we’re helping shape the future of healthcare infrastructure. This project reflects the ambitions of the NHS’s 10 Year Health Plan by creating modern, inclusive, and community-focused spaces that support prevention, integration, and wellbeing.”
