Medical Centre

The refurbishment works at the Badger Crescent site are progressing well and are on schedule for completion during summer 2026 as planned. This is just the first phase of work which mainly covers the front section of the building, creating an updated reception area and waiting room, and reconfigured administrative space to give our large back office team the working environment they need to support patient services efficiently. Further upgrades to clinical rooms and to the rear part of the building will follow when funding allows.

While the new rooms at the Ellen Badger Hospital have greatly increased our clinical space, they’ve simply brought us closer to the capacity required for our growing patient population.

During the refurbishment period, some services have had to remain at the Badger Crescent site as there just isn’t enough room at the Ellen Badger to accommodate all of our clinical support,
administration and secure storage requirements. Dispensary has to remain at the medical centre because medicines must be stored, handled and dispensed under strict safety regulations.

We’re grateful to everyone for their patience and understanding as these works progress. The renovation represents an investment in the future, ensuring our facilities remain fit for purpose and
able to provide quality care for our community.
