Gloucestershire Gets New £3m Dental Centre
27 Apr
Summary
- A new dental school and treatment hub will open in 2027.
- The facility will offer NHS community dental services, including urgent care.
- The project received £3m in funding from NHS Gloucestershire ICB.
Construction is set to commence this month on a new dental school and treatment hub located at the University of Gloucestershire's city campus. This £3m development, the Three Counties Dental School and treatment hub, is scheduled to become operational in early 2027.
The facility will serve a dual purpose: offering training opportunities for dental students and providing NHS community dental services. Patients will have access to routine appointments and urgent care, including extended evening and weekend services, accessible via NHS 111.
Funding for the project has been secured from NHS Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board (ICB), with an annual contract value of £1.2m over a minimum 10-year term. Markey Building Services Limited has been contracted for the works, and the ICB is in the process of selecting an operator for the hub.
