New Chiswick Health Centre Opening Soon

After two years of construction, the new Chiswick Health Centre on Fisher’s Lane will open and is set to receive its first patients on 31 March 2025.

This purpose-built modern health facility is a joint £23 million project between NHS NW London, NHS Property Services and Hounslow Council. It will house three local GP practices, West London NHS Trust community services and be the base for Chiswick Primary Care Network (PCN).

The modern development will improve healthcare services for local residents. The centre will provide a broader range of GP services, including community and mental health services. It will also host a range of local activities and ventures to support local health and wellbeing in the coming months.

Patients registered at:

  • Chiswick Health Practice
  • Chiswick Medical Practice
  • West4GPs

Will be contacted ahead of the move, back to Fisher’s Lane. Patients at these practices will not need to do anything differently in terms of contacting their practice from 31 March, all contact numbers and online details will remain the same.

 

Dr Chloe Hillman, GP Partner and Joint Clinical Director, Chiswick Primary Care Network said:

 “After two years’ absence from the centre in Chiswick, we are thrilled to be moving back to a new vibrant and well-equipped health centre. 

“We can now start the process of delivering the vision we all had at the beginning of this project, providing collaborative, innovative and integrated services that provide quality care to local people.

“As we mark this huge achievement we now embrace the next chapter with optimism and determination, knowing that we will have a space which will enable us to create a healthier, happier and more vibrant community for generations of residents to come.”

Adrian Powell, Director of Investment & Development Management at NHS Property Services (NHSPS), said: 

“Chiswick Health Centre is a major project that has brought together many stakeholders. To see patients and NHS colleagues now being able to use this wonderful building is beyond exciting. This site is one more example of NHSPS’ commitment to bringing excellent patient care through modern buildings.

“The new building has also been designed to achieve the highest environmental and sustainable standards. Embracing a ‘fabric first’ approach with thermally efficient building fabric and low carbon technologies such as LED lighting and solar photovoltaic arrays. A 77% carbon dioxide emissions reduction will be the result.”

Cllr Tom Bruce, Deputy Leader of the Council and Cabinet Member for Assets, Regeneration and Development, said:

"The opening of the new Chiswick Health Centre marks a pivotal moment in our commitment to community wellbeing, showcasing a successful partnership between Hounslow Council, NHS Property Services, and NHS North West London. This modern facility not only offers a central hub for health and community services but also includes the provision of 55 affordable homes specifically designed for NHS key workers. Over £1million in Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) funds were allocated by the Council to support the practical implementation and temporary relocation costs of this project.

“This investment of CIL funds allows us to finance essential public infrastructure that underpins the vitality and sustainability of our borough. By strategically utilising public land and CIL funding, we've crafted a development that meets current demands while investing in the future wellbeing and growth of Chiswick. We are exceptionally proud of the foresight and quality this project represents, ensuring that our community's health and wellbeing are robustly supported now and for generations to come."

Information on the key worker homes will be available to local NHS staff soon. NHS staff can register interest by emailing CHCDevelopment@hounslow.gov.uk
