THE new Wellington Medical Centre in Mantle Street finally opened this week following a smooth transition from the old building in Bulford.
The £3.5m centre features a modern, airy waiting area, 16 consulting rooms, and seven treatment rooms including one dedicated to minor operations.
There are administration and conference facilities on the first floor as well as a pharmacy and dental surgery.
The centre is home to 11 doctors split between two surgeries and will serve more than 13,000 patients.
Negotiations are ongoing on the sale of the Bulford site to Waitrose.
