Built in the beautiful market town of Stow-on-the-Wold, patients and staff at Stow surgery waited patiently for their perfect building.
The surgery was built on Maugersbury Road and brought fresh, modern, spacious facilities to the town. With seven GP consulting rooms, four nurse consulting rooms, two phlebotomy rooms, an area for minor procedures and a further two consulting rooms specifically for trainee GPs the building has ensured that the practice can continue to grow it's facilities for patients.
The new building was designed with people who have disabilities and dementia in mind, with signage and access ensuring the area is easy to navigate.
The building gave staff a better working environment and included a large waiting room, bigger staff room and a conference room.
The environmentally friendly building has been constructed with structural insulated panels (SIPs), a ground source heat pump and an array of solar panels, all of which reduce energy consumption.
The building was opened by Countryfile presenter, Adam Henson, followed by mince pies, mulled wine and carols around their Christmas tree. Patients had an opportunity to tour the building.
We are delighted to be celebrating this milestone with staff and patients and very much look forward to seeing the positive impact the development has in the community over the coming years.
