Construction firm Galliford Try has been selected by the NHS Kent and Medway and Social Care Partnership Trust to refurbish existing facilities to deliver a Centralised Health Based Place of Safety for the region.

Awarded under ProCure23 (P23), the main avenue for delivering design and construction services for NHS capital projects, the transformation and renovation will establish a central health-based Place of Safety suite, designed to offer a secure and nurturing environment for individuals undergoing a mental health crisis.

Our goal is to leave a lasting imprint on the health estate, and we look forward to collaborating with Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust to deliver this important project."
