This new building opened on April 2nd 2007. All the staff from the old Health Centre have moved into the new building. The old building will remain closed. It will be demolished to make way for more car park.
There are no new staff. The faces you see are the same ones as before. There will however be a caretaker and security guard for some time. All the services will run in the new building as they did in the old one. Supplementary telephone numbers for the Medical Practice and Community staff are different or have gone. The main number 01159373527 remains the same and will get all services at Keyworth Medical Practice. When this number is answered there is a choice. "1" for appointments, "2" for general and between 2pm and 4pm there is a third choice "3" for repeat prescriptions. There is a new number for NHS Community Staff 0115 8837000..
There are 3 floors. The first 2 are patient areas. The 3rd has utilities and offices mainly for NHS Community Staff. There are 2 lifts on the ground floor to the first floor. They easily accommodate a wheel chair and attendant.
The reception for the doctors (Keyworth Medical practice) is on the first floor. There is a wide staircase up to this level. The staircase is on the immediate left as you enter through the automatic sliding doors, and the lifts are just beyond. There is a reception desk on the ground floor, for District Nurses, Health Visitor, Midwife, Podiatrist, School Nurses and other Community Staff. All these people have their consulting and treatment rooms on the ground floor.
If you have an appointment to see a doctor, nurse or health care assistant, just go to the main reception area on the first floor and take a seat. Your name will be called just as before. The Medical Practice reception is on the far left at the top of the staircase and the wall is the same colour as this page. The dental reception is on the far right and is in a blue wall. As yet there are no dentists.
There are toilets (including disabled) in the ground floor reception area and in the first floor reception area. There is a drinking water dispenser on the first floor also.
All rooms are very clearly numbered outside the door. When your name is called you will be told what room number you go to.
When a doctor or nurse calls you, you should make your way to the consulting room. Just about all the rooms are accessed from one corridor which is on the left of the reception (as you look at it). The first 2 rooms are on the left side of the corridor and are practice nurse clinic rooms (rooms 1 and 2). The corridor turns right, and there are 8 rooms for doctors on the left hand side. (rooms 3 to 10). The dispensary window is in the same corridor, on the right side, opposite the nurse rooms. For blood tests and treatment rooms (11, 12 and 13) you go down the corridor to the left of dental reception and take a seat on one of the chairs there (there is also a water dispenser and a toilet.
The car park is incomplete but there are 2 disabled spaced close to the main entrance and there is a drop off point right in front of the entrance. There is some public parking in the undercroft parking area. This area has doors at both ends which will open at 7-30am and close at 7pm. (Monday-Friday).
Sketch plan of the first floor. You may find this interesting but you will not need a plan at all. It is a big building but very straightforward for patients to use.
