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.

“The mobile unit is a substantial and impressive facility that will ensure that patients receive seamless care during the construction project. We were attracted to this solution because of the high standard of the unit interior, which looks and feels like a very modern GP surgery, and by the convenience of the quick delivery and set-up time.”
