“ NHS LIFT is offering us the opportunity to sit down with our Doncaster Council colleagues and include many of the services they provide under one roof, which is good news for patients and residents alike.”

Understanding and integrating local needs and priorities was paramount when work began on the Sandringham Road Centre, Doncaster and consultation and engagement with stakeholders throughout all phases of the development process helped in achieving fantastic results.

Now serving some 8,000 patients from its five-GP practice and with an extensive range of other healthcare facilities available this project, one of the first three of a series of developments planned for Doncaster, has undoubtedly enhanced the health and well-being of patients and staff, while remaining flexible and adaptable in order to meet the changing demands of community-based health, social care and other local services.

Mike Potts, Doncaster West Primary Care Trust Chief Executive, said: “NHS LIFT is offering us the opportunity to sit down with our Doncaster Council colleagues and include many of the services they provide under one roof, which is good news for patients and residents alike.” Located in the Intake area of Doncaster, the population of this ex-mining community has complex health and social care needs and suffers a high level of deprivation. Sandringham Road is specially designed to provide improved services to cater for the growing needs of these patients.
