The new £12.2 million facility, designed by LSI Architects and delivered in conjunction with gbpartnerships, is a two-storey building, with public services occupying the ground floor, while staff amenities are located on the first floor. Services at the EMHC encompass a GP practice, outpatient services, a minor injury unit, X-ray services, phlebotomy, therapies, and social prescribing.

It also includes a memorial garden area and community spaces, with an aim to prioritise healthcare accessibility, wellbeing spaces, and integrate services within the community.

The EMHC is in line for a National Site Award from the Considerate Constructors Scheme in late May, and has also been shortlisted for this year’s Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) Awards for London and South East, in the ‘Commercial Benefit’ category.
