External work at health centre is completed
The new Musselburgh Primary Care Centre.
The external building of the new £20 million Musselburgh Primary Care Centre is now finished marking a major milestone in its development.
David Small, General Manager, East and Midlothian Community Health Partnerships, said: “It’s exciting to see the development take shape and on schedule to be completed in the spring. The new Musselburgh Primary Care Centre will offer 21st century care for the people of Musselburgh and the wider community in East Lothian.”
Situated at Inveresk Road beside the Tesco supermarket on the site of the former Brunton Wireworks, the building, which extends to 6312.5 square metres, has a modern, self-cleaning roof to provide light throughout the boulevard and reception area. There are entrances from Church Lane and Inveresk Road.
The new centre will accommodate three GP practices, such as paediatric and adult outpatient clinics, speech and language therapy, clinical psychology, children’s services, podiatry, physiotherapy, and community nursing. A new addition to the services will be two new community dental suites.
The majority of clinical services currently provided at Edenhall Hospital will be transferred over to the facility when it opens. Plans for moving the remainder of services are under discussion and will be finalised shortly.
