Modern primary care facilities in rural and somewhat isolated communities, are essential in ensuring good health.
Wooler is a remote community, well away from hospital services.
Although it’s within the English border, its sparse population is more reminiscent of Scotland.
Prime has created a development that fits easily into its surroundings and brings together the two local practices with community services to form an integrated primary care centre. Services include everything from community health visiting to psychology, minor surgery and a trauma clinic.
It’s just nicer to come to work now. The nursing team now has a central point of contact to share their ideas and experiences, which just wasn’t possible before. The whole of Wooler is talking about our new building.”
