New £6m health centre opens to patients

June 14, 2021

We’ve exciting news – Lyndon Primary Care Centre, the new £6 million facility based at our Sandwell Hospital has opened today.

The building will be home to the practices that were  previously based at Carters Green Medical Centre and Lyndon Health Centre, which are operated by the Trust through Your Health Partnership (YHP). The GP practice joined our organisation last year as an additional directorate in the primary care communities and therapies group.

Colleagues from Carters Green and Lyndon Health Centre will be moving in over three phases. Today has seen staff moving in from Carters Green, occupying the ground floor as part of phase one.

Around six to seven consultation rooms are being used, but the practice will continue with virtual consultations so not every patient will attend the site.

Once fully opened, the centre will serve more than 15,000 patients.

It has 24 modern clinical rooms offering consultation and treatment space across two floors.

After several years of planning, discussion, and consultation, the centre represents a significant investment to improve the facilities available to our local community.

GP Dr Simon Mitchell, from YHP, said: “We’re delighted to announce that we are moving into our fantastic new facility. Services will be building up over the coming weeks as we emerge from COVID-19. I would like to thank all the staff and contractors who have enabled us to build and open the facility during the pandemic.”

Carters Green Medical Centre was previously situated on the High Street, in West Bromwich, whilst Lyndon Health Centre was based in Parsonage Street.
