Doctor’s surgery opens its doors in new multi-million building in Yate
Posted on Monday 8th March 2010 at 8:22 am by SH (Editor)West Walk Surgery in Yate is celebrating moving to its new premises in the £12 million Yate West Gate Centre today, Monday 8th March.
Mr George Toogood, aged 100, and thirteen day old Joseph Nutt, the oldest and youngest patients at West Walk Surgery, have been invited to join the celebrations and help cut the ribbon on the surgery’s first working day in its new home.
West Walk Surgery in Yate has moved from its temporary building behind Yate library into the new Yate West Gate Centre. The Yate West Gate Centre, which opened Monday 8th February, 2010, is a joint venture with NHS South Gloucestershire and South Gloucestershire Council providing local residents access to a range of health, children’s, young people and family services all in one place.
Staff at West Walk Surgery have been treating patients in temporary offices for the past two years. West Walk Surgery’s managing partner, Martin Wilkes, said: “The new building is a massive improvement. Although the cabins have served us well and were a vast improvement on the previous building, we appreciate it has still not been ideal.”
