Clydebank health centre: Behind the scenes at the new facility

The much-anticipated centre point of the Queens Quay regeneration project is welcoming its first patients on February 7.  

With 47,000 registered patients, the state-of-the-art facility will house 300 NHS staff and boast the latest in digital and medical technology. 

Designed with the local landscape in mind, the art work inside celebrates the Old Kilpatrick Hills and the architecture showcases a Clydebank landmark, the Titan crane. 

The new building will see six practices under one roof

Six practices from the Clydebank region will now all be located under the one roof. 

When patients arrive, they check-in at the main reception desk before being directed to their practice, either red, green, yellow, blue, orange or purple. 

As well as the six GP surgeries, it will be home to physiotherapy, treatment rooms, podiatry, Care at Home, mental health services, sexual health services and more. 

The new Health Centre is the second building completed within the Queens Quay Master Plan and together with Queens Quay House, West Dunbartonshire HSCP’s new residential care home, completes the Queens Quay Health Quarter.

West Dunbartonshire Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) Chief Officer, Beth Culshaw, said: “This is a very proud moment for everyone associated with West Dunbartonshire HSCP. It was once a dream and is now a stunning reality.” 

The new facility was developed by hub West Scotland in partnership with NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde (NHSGGC).  

It was constructed by BAM Construction and is built on the site of the former John Brown’s shipyard.
