Wixams finally gets GP surgery after 17 years
27 May
Summary
- Wixams residents to get new GP surgery after 17 years without one.
- The new health centre will serve 15,000 patients and aims for a 2029 opening.
- Half of current residents travel 14 miles for medical appointments.
Wixams, a town with 3,000 homes since its opening in 2009, is set to gain a much-needed GP surgery. Plans have been submitted to local councils by Urban&Civic, the master developer. This development comes after 17 years without a local facility, forcing half of the residents into a 14-mile round trip for medical care.
The NHS has secured £7m for the new health centre, projected to open in 2029. It will accommodate 15,000 patients and include a minimum of eight clinical rooms. This crucial addition is part of a larger town centre proposal, which includes a nursery, community building, supermarket, and retail spaces.
