LIFT

NHS LIFT is a vehicle for improving and developing frontline primary and community care facilities. It is allowing primary care trusts to invest in new premises in new locations, not merely reproduce existing types of service. It is providing patients with modern integrated health services in high quality, fit for purpose primary care premises.

NHS LIFT is flexible in respect of the type of buildings it provides. The approach does not provide a building into which you put your services. Rather it allows the building design to reflect the needs of the services. To date LIFT is providing a range of building types including re-provision of GP premises, one stop primary care centres, integrated health and local authority service centres, and community hospitals.

The one-stop-shop principle is an important component of NHS LIFT - allowing the patient to be treated in their locality in so-called 'One-Stop-Centres' or Primary Care Centres that are modern, convenient, easy to access and staffed by a wide range of healthcare professionals.

Robertson companies have been involved in developing a number of these ‘one-stop centres’ right across the North East of England.

These projects will give you insight into Robertson’s involvement with NHS LIFT.
