Podiatry services to move in Bristol
Wednesday 19th May 2010
A number of people with podiatry jobs are to relocate in Bristol, as one of the city's medical centres undergoes a transformation.
Under the terms of a £19 million refurbishment, Cossham Hospital in Kingswood will begin the process at the start of next month.
Once it is completed, the podiatry and special care dental service will move from Kingswood Healthcare Centre to new facilities at the hospital.
A contract has been signed between building firm ISG Pearce and NHS South Gloucestershire - which provides services to a population of around 258,800.
This means work has been given the go-ahead to commence on June 1st.
Commenting on the development, Penny Harris, chief executive of NHS South Gloucestershire, said: "After years of working in partnership with local people to plan the refurbishment of Cossham and the services we will deliver ... building is finally set to start on site."
The medical facility is expected to reopen in early 2012.
