What makes a GP Surgery
A GP surgery is planned around patient flow and around the CQC registration it has to satisfy, often while remaining open to patients throughout the works.
Design considerations for GP Surgeries
Consulting, treatment and reception zoning that keeps patient, staff and clinical waste routes separate; accessibility throughout, including approach, reception, WCs and consulting rooms; infection control provision, from hand-wash basins and finishes to clinical waste and sluice facilities; acoustic privacy between consulting rooms and waiting areas; cold-chain storage for vaccines, secure medicines storage and IT for clinical systems; and phased works where the practice remains open, including out-of-hours and decant arrangements.
Regulatory context
CQC registration requirements, designed in from the outset, including record storage and confidentiality.
How Axentia delivers a GP Surgery project
Most surgery projects are moderate in value and carried out around a live service. A self-contained fit-out or extension under £500,000 suits Axentia as Principal Contractor: one contract, one point of responsibility and a price agreed up front. A new-build practice, a whole-premises refurbishment or a phased programme across several rooms is better suited to Construction Management, sequencing trades around your clinic sessions.
