In response to the need for a temporary clinic to support patients during the current Coronavirus outbreak, Virgo Group has fully refurbished and equipped Health Centre at Cavendish Court, Doncaster. The Phoenix Clinic is the result of the commitment of the NHS and local businesses to work together in partnership and provide facilities to support the patients during the current Coronavirus crisis. The Clinic is located adjacent to the Same Day Health Centre in Doncaster.
The CCG approved the conversion of the space into a self-contained 5 room unit with changing and rest facilities, designed to provide additional support for patients during the crisis. Vigo completed the alterations within 2 working days, delivering the Clinic to the CCG last Thursday. Operating continuously 24 hours a day, it has the potential to treat up to 1,000 patients a week.
Dr David Crichton, Chair of NHS Doncaster Clinical Commissioning Group said: “We have been very pleased with the speed with which Vigo Group has responded to our call to create a temporary facility to provide support to Doncaster patients during the Covid-19 pandemic. We are grateful to both Vigo and the previous tenants, for working together to ensure the facility is made available and operational as quickly as possible.”
Tariq Shah, Vigo Group Director, added: “We would like to thank existing occupiers of The Wellness Centre at Cavendish Court for helping us deliver this vital Clinic for the people of Doncaster. Our tenants have given up their space voluntarily to make this project happen. Our in-house construction team, as well as Cavendish Court occupier, Vizuality, and local Builders’ Merchant, AE Spinks, deserve special mentions for their extraordinary work to bring this important project together. We are all extremely proud to be a part of this initiative.”
