Podiatrists to work in new health centre
Thursday 27th May 2010
People with podiatry jobs are to be among those starting work in a new medical centre located in Seaham.
An old magistrates' court is being demolished to make way for the development, the Sunderland Echo reports.
In total, more than 150 members of staff will be employed at the clinic.
As well as providing foot health services, it will contain GP practices, mental health services and retinal screening, among other things.
Progress is already being made on the building, which will cost around £15 million to complete.
Demolition and ground work is expected to take around four months and so the building of the facility itself is expected to begin in the autumn, subject to planning approval.
Durham County Council - which serves a population of around 500,000 - has already passed outline proposals.
Meanwhile, patients are expected to be able to use the new health centre by the spring of 2012, if there are no delays.
