Leys Health Centre


The aim of NHS LIFT (Local Improvement Finance Trust) is to create a new future for primary care, characterized by modern purpose-built facilities for NHS staff and patients alike. The LIFT approach involves the local health community working with a private sector partner selected through competitive procurement.

The Leys Health Centre was the first project delivered through the Oxford LIFT – providing a total healthcare facility in the heart of the community. Essential primary care facilities delivered include a doctors’ surgery, a community nursing unit, a pharmacy, a dental practice, and a private nursery.

Our work on this project included providing all mechanical and electrical services and ensuring that all HTMs and HBNs were adhered to. As with all public sector projects, sustainability and energy efficiency were prioritized. Key sustainable technologies employed included computer modeling to define maximum summer temperatures – ensuring that the Health Centre can stay within NHS energy targets. The finished building achieved a NEAT rating of very good.

This project was a finalist for the 2006 Hospital Development Awards in the Better Health Buildings category.
