‘Green light’ given for Hull Integrated Care Centre

Conditional planning approval has been granted for a new £9 m Integrated Care Centre in East Hull, designed by Medical Architecture, which will support patients with long-term health conditions and illnesses associated with older age.

The ICC is part of the ‘Hull 2020’ vision to improve the city’s future health. Commissioned by NHS Hull Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and partners, Citycare and Community Health Partnerships, the centre will provide community-based assessment with supporting clinics and rehabilitation facilities. As an alternative to hospital admission, patients will be referred directly by their GP for assessment and treatment, before being supported to return home with an ongoing care plan.

The centre will also provide a small base for the Humberside Fire and Rescue Service, with specially trained fire personnel supporting the rehabilitation of people in their own homes. 

The design concept is for a therapeutic and welcoming heart to the building at the point of arrival, with clear wayfinding, and open and transparent views to landscape, ‘designed as much for the wellbeing of patients, as it is for the staff and visitors’. 

The three services of Rapid Assessment, Health Hub, and Therapies, are laid out in two main building wings linked by common and communityshared spaces. 

Construction will start late this year, with a scheduled opening in March 2018.
