Investment boost to support neighbourhood health centres in Bristol

Charlotte Keel Medical Practice and Montpelier Health Centre are set to be transformed into Neighbourhood Health Centres following £600k funding provided by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC).  

£400k has been committed to Charlotte Keel Medical Practice to repurpose the vacant pharmacy space.  

£200k has been committed to Montpelier Health Centre (pictured) to support the reconfiguration of the building to change how the building is laid out.
