New health centre in Trowbridge to ease hospital and GP pressures

The new facility will be similar in build to the ICB’s Devizes Health Centre which was opened in 2023.

There will be a gap of just one day whilst services are moved from Trowbridge’s dated community hospital to the new facility on Hammersmith Fields, just off Seymour Road, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

Holmes also called the facility “a flagship approach to community health.”

Th ICB claim the Trowbridge Integrated Care Centre will improve access for 35,000 same-day urgent care patients a year.

However, it will not cater for patients who need overnight care.

Neither will it see a return of maternity services – expectant mums will still have to travel to Chippenham or Frome.
