Oldham’s new Integrated Care Centre now open for business
Phil Woolas MP has been to see for himself the major new advance in NHS primary care in Oldham.
The £20 million Oldham Integrated Care Centre (ICC) opened its doors to the first patients on Monday 2nd November.
Phil said “This centre is magnificent. It will transform the delivery of health care for all my constituents. It allows many more services in a local community setting. More convenient for people and taking pressure of our local hospitals.”
Services include:
- five GP practices,
- dentists,
- outpatient services,
- minor surgery,
- urgent care,
- audiology and orthoptics,
- therapy facilities,
- children and older people’s services; and a
- Pharmacy
- as well as a cafe.
Phil said “Bringing all these services together under one roof means people have access to diagnostic testing and emergency treatment. All in a convenient town centre location without having to travel to hospital. This is another major NHS investment in Oldham following on from the new Moorside and Glodwick Health Centres.“
The ten storey building has been designed to be easy to use. Ways for people to find the department or service they need have been designed in. There is innovative use of signage, colour-coding and images to help people find their way.
