“ We consulted widely with the residents of Denaby to ask them what kind of services they would like to see in the building and we’ve done our best to meet their expectations. This is a key development for the village, an opportunity for the NHS and Doncaster Council to bring more services closer to where people live and a big step forward in supporting the regeneration of the village.”

One of the first three of a series of developments planned for Doncaster, The Denaby Springwell Centre has been specially designed to provide improved services to cater for the multiple and complex health and social needs of patients in this ex-mining community.

Built adjacent to the existing health centre, which will eventually be demolished, the two-storey 1300 sq. M. building has been designed to enable expansion by a third of its original size. It houses a GP practice that serves some 4,000 patients as well as nursing and residential homes in the area, along with an extensive range of other healthcare facilities.

Affordability and value for money has been enhanced through the development of multi-purpose rooms and the attraction of a private sector tenant as a third party revenue. The aim of the project is to enhance the health and well-being of patients and staff, while being flexible and adaptable in order to meet the changing demands of community-based health, social care and other local Services.
