NHS Open Space adds new sites across England

The expansion supports NHSPS in its mission to maximise the health and wellbeing services on offer in local communities across the country. With a wider range of health, wellbeing and community services using local health hubs, we will also be able to optimise the use of NHS space, while bringing much needed money back into health care system. 

“I am delighted to be able to announce yet another expansion of NHS Open Space this year,” said Christopher King, Principal Strategic Asset Manager at NHSPS. “We have seen more than 950,000 hours of care provided to patients across England with this scheme, showing just how vital a range of services are to local communities. From counselling and physiotherapy to vaccine administration, we hope to enable excellent patient care and deliver on the Long-Term Plan through our spaces.”

NHSPS will continue to expand on NHS Open Space allowing health and wellbeing providers, as well as business owners the flexibility to hire clinical and non-clinical spaces within its sites. With over 160,000 bookings already received through the scheme, this latest expansion comes after the launch of a new online booking system developed in line with customer feedback.
