MCD team visit to the new St Peter’s Health Centre, Brighton

The new St Peter’s Health Centre in Brighton has now been completed, and the team from MCD went down to visit the practice in its magnificent new home.

The complex project involved multiple stages to ensure that services remained operational throughout the development phase, with the old surgery remaining operational while phase 1 of the new build was completed, before the surgery moved into phase 1 to allow the old surgery to be demolished and phase 2 to be commenced.
