New flexible health space opened in Southport
Damien Moore, the MP in Southport, has recently opened new, flexible healthcare rooms now available to rent at Churchtown Health Centre in Southport.
NHS Property Services has created four of these multi-use rooms under their Open Space programme. Open Space allows small businesses, community groups and healthcare providers alike to use both clinical and non-clinical rooms on an hourly, daily or weekly basis. Rates are budget-friendly and any profits made on the scheme are entirely reinvested in the NHS estate.
Nationally, Open Space has generated over 1,000,000 hours of bookings, with 80 per cent of rooms being used for clinical purposes.
Damien Moore said: “It was fantastic to open the Open Space rooms at Churchtown Health Centre. These new facilities will provide increased access to health and wellbeing services in my constituency and I am hopeful that the local community can benefit from this high quality space.”
Claire Carter, NHSPS’ Senior Facilities Manager for the Northwest of England, said: “We are delighted to welcome Mr Moore to Churchtown Health Centre to see our work in action, and we hope that his visit will encourage members of the community to make good use of these new, flexible rooms.”
