Quintain, the developer behind Wembley Park, has announced the opening ofa new GP ‘super surgery’ at Wembley Park, the largest in North West London. Located on the ground floor of the Repton Gardens residential development, the surgery was delivered in partnership with Brent Council.
Operated by the relocated Wembley Park Medical Centre, it serves up to 25,000 local residents, having significantly increased patient capacity and providing space for 14 GP staff. Facilities include two clinical suites, 1 consult exam rooms and four treatment rooms, as well as an e-consult room, and facilities for minor surgery and respiratory testing. Dr Sachin P Patel, GP partner at the centre, highlighted the enhanced capacity and modern facilities that will benefit both the community and the staff. ‘I have been a GP at the surgery for 11 years and I’m thrilled for the opening of the new space, which now allows us to serve a larger proportion of the community. ‘This new purpose-built facility is fit for modern care and treatment, with stateof- the-art primary care facilities and services as well as an increase in staff. This is not only going to hugely benefit the local community but also our staff, who have been working in cramped conditions for many years.’ James Saunders, chief executive of Quintain, added: ‘This new GP surgery will increase high-quality healthcare provision in the borough of Brent for residents new and old in a purpose-built facility. From its inception, our masterplan at Wembley Park sought to provide everything local residents need to live healthy, happy lives in their neighbourhood.’
