LSP in conjunction with Assura were appointed by the Todmorden Group Practice to reprovide a new Health Centre for the town of Todmorden.

The practice previously operated from a 20 year old Health Centre, shared with various PCT services. The new facility was designed to provide more integrated services within a primary care setting in the Todmorden locality. A site was identified in early 2006 and was acquired by May of that year. It is only 300m from the existing surgery and still central to the town. Planning consent was obtained early in 2007 and work began on site in July 2007.

During the construction phase there was a request for additional space from the PCT for a further new practice and from the Acute Trust. The expansion space on the 2nd floor enabled these requirements to be met without impacting on the original accommodation. The Acute Trust space includes a full x-ray unit and audiology suite. The GP Practice and PCT took occupation in December 2008 and Acute Trust in February 2009.
