Representatives from Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire ICB were joined by the Mayor of Trowbridge and officials from NHS Property Services and Wiltshire Council, both of whom who have contributed funding, to attend the ‘topping out' ceremony.

Caroline Holmes, interim executive lead for cancer, planned care and community, Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire ICB, said: ‘This new centre is set to be a flagship location for local health and care, with teams from many different organisations, including HCRG Care Group, Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership and the Royal United Hospital, working together under one roof to help give patients a smoother, more joined-up experience.'

Construction work on the new integrated care centre, which when complete will be one of the country's first completely self-sufficient NHS buildings, is expected to finish before the end of the year, with the doors opening to patients in early 2026

Once fully open, the centre will become the new location for all health and care services, including the minor injury unit and X-ray department, that are currently based within the nearby Trowbridge Community Hospital.
