GF Tomlinson completes Barwell Medical Centre

The state-of-the-art two-storey facility replaces the outdated Jersey Way Centre, addressing the increasing local demand for modern healthcare services. 

The project included the demolition of an unused brownfield site previously housing a vehicle workshop and warehouse. 

Additional space has enabled a broader range of health services including physiotherapy, mental health support, and minor surgical procedures. 

The L-shaped facility features: 

• 12 consulting rooms 

• a health promotion area 

• recovery spaces 

• 52 parking spaces 

• six cycle racks 

Constructed to BREEAM ‘Excellent’ standards, the centre ensures long-term sustainability and energy efficiency. 

The project also saw the contractor source 70 per cent local labour within 30 miles of site. 

“After 17 years of planning, we are thrilled to move into our new centre, through which we can now provide our patients and staff with the space and resources they deserve,” said Dr Mark Findlay, GP Partner at Barwell and Hollycroft Medical Centres. 

Adrian Grocock, group MD at G F Tomlinson, said: “To deliver this contemporary medical facility, which will significantly enhance access to vital healthcare services for the Barwell community, has been an honour.  

“With our extensive experience in healthcare schemes, we understand the crucial role such facilities play in improving lives. Seeing this project come to fruition is a proud moment for our team.”
