Location of the Hub
A site has now been identified as the best option for the development. This is located next to the Shrewsbury Town Football Club and Lidl supermarket, just off the Oteley Road in Meole Brace, Shrewsbury.
Work continues on an Integrated Impact Assessment (IIA) to review the access and services in place for people using the hub. We are also working with the local authority to explore transport solutions which will ensure the hub would be linked into the transport system, is environmentally-friendly, and easily accessible to patients.

For the scale of this development, the overflow car park by Shirehall would not be a viable option.
The programme team has considered a number of different options for the site location of the hub; however, the town centre has limited space for the potential size of this development, plus the town centre area has also recently benefitted from the construction of the brand-new Riverside Practice on Barker Street.
As above, and for the scale of this development, the Riverside shopping area is not a viable option.
No, this is not the case. We understand that patients are concerned by our plans to change the way they access their GP practice currently, however these proposals are being considered because of the huge issues faced by these practices (and many others) as well as the NHS as a whole. Plans are never to the detriment of our patients, however if we do not take action now bigger and more serious problems will be faced in the future.
