By GlobalData“Willmott Dixon has a strong track record in delivering health and care hubs, and is committed to working in a sustainable and responsible way.”
Working with Central Bedfordshire Council, the Clinical Commissioning Group, GPs and local NHS providers, the company’s team of construction specialists developed the service model and schedule of accommodation.
This was designed on the principles of Willmott Dixon’s pre-designed integrated health and care hub concept called cura, which can enable a bespoke internal layout and future adaptability to meet service changes.
During Covid-19, the company worked with the customer on making changes to the internal layout to include resilience against existing and future pandemics.
