Proposal to relocate nine GP practices to new health centres in Sheffield

Response - 9 August 2022

A public consultation over plans to invest millions in building new GP health centres launches on 1 August 2022.

Sheffield has been given £37m to improve primary care buildings in the city.

Most of this money could be used to build new health centres bringing together GP and other services all under one roof.

As part of this, four new health centres could be built in 2023. If GPs move, their current surgeries will close, so the South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board want to hear from patients and communities about what they think of these plans.

The proposed health centres would be located at:

  • Spital Street
  • Rushby Street
  • Concord Sports Centre
  • Buchanan Road/Wordsworth Avenue

Which GP practices are interested in moving?

GPs from 9 different practice sites are interested in moving into one of four new buildings. Practices are considering whether to become part of a new health centre or if they should stay in their current location.

These are the GP practice sites that are interested in moving to new premises:

  • Burngreave Surgery (including Cornerstone Surgery and Herries Rd Surgery branch)
  • Sheffield Medical Centre
  • Page Hall Medical Centre
  • Upwell Street Surgery
  • Firth Park Surgery
  • Shiregreen Medical Centre
  • The Health Care Surgery (part of Green Cross Group Practice)
  • Buchanan Road Surgery
  • Margetson Surgery (part of Ecclesfield Group Practice)
