A 'derelict eyesore' former pub could be the home of a major new health and community centre planned for Hucknall. It's understood the former Seven Stars pub, in West Street, is the proposed location for the new ‘Cavell Centre’ in the town.
A Cavell Centre is an “all under one roof” centre featuring GPs, health and wellbeing services and other in-community facilities. The aim of the new centres, which are so far planned for just six locations across the UK, is to bring NHS health and care services into one building as a one-stop-shop for patients.
In some cases, they could serve as many as 150,000 patients, with several GPs located in the building alongside a raft of other services. A document seen by the Local Democracy Reporting Service reveals other services may include physiotherapists, bookable community spaces and areas for the voluntary sectors to use.
