NHS Wigan (Lift)
A North West PCT has commissioned an innovative mobile GP surgery to provide a temporary facility for patients during a new build project.
Foundation for Life, the LIFT partner for NHS Ashton Leigh & Wigan PCT, advised the PCT to choose the hi-tech, vehicle-based unit in preference to the more commonly-used portacabin-type structure.
The impressive unit, which will deliver a total of 60 sq m of internal floorspace, will be installed by specialist supplier EMS Healthcare next to the site of the existing Marsh Green clinic in Wigan, Greater Manchester.
The construction of the permanent surgery building will commence in December 2009 on the site adjacent to the clinic.
