Edzell’s GP practice used to operate out of temporary accommodation until they enlisted the help of Prime’s healthcare specialists.
They soon began to bring the elements of the scheme together, taking care to balance the budget with the needs and aspirations of staff and patients, while organising regular sessions to share plans with local people.
A new site, at the top of the local high street, close to shops and a pharmacy and adjacent to a new primary school, has provided easy access. Thanks to collaboration across the public sector, the new premises remain in keeping with its picturesque village setting. The use of traditional materials such as slate, stone and wood, helped the single storey building fit comfortably into the village setting. Inside, its rooms house the latest facilities while retaining a warm, homely atmosphere.
The new centre has got rid of all building-related stress. We have dedicated space for everything and this has greatly improved patient satisfaction. The new centre also provides us with adequate space to grow as a practice.”
