Opening date for Peterborough GP surgery following relocation confirmed
The opening date for a Peterborough GP surgery following its relocation has been revealed.
Nene Valley Hodgson Medical Practice, currently located on Hodgson Avenue in Werrington, will move into its new home at the Werrington Health Centre on Skaters Way on December 7.
The last working day at the Hodgson Surgery will be on Friday November 27.
In this one-week interim period, there will be the safe transfer of IT systems, medical equipment and other resources.
The Hodgson team will continue to see patients at the time from the Nene Valley site.
The Nene Valley site will be unaffected by the relocation.
The Werrington Health Centre closed in March 2025 after services were combined with the nearby Werrington Surgery on Church Street but has since been refurbished ahead of coming into use again.
The practice partners have said that the move will create the opportunity to deliver care ‘from a larger, more modern, and better-designed environment.’
The current Hodgson building was designed in the 1980s to serve around 2,000 patients and the surgery now has over 5,200 patients.
The partners confirmed: “The Skaters Way premises offers a significant opportunity for NVH to improve patient access, expand clinical capacity, and deliver modern primary care in a more suitable environment. The site offers more than double the GP accommodation than the current Hodgson building, alongside improved parking, better accessibility, and space for future service development.
"There are strict limitations on the numbers of clinical staff we can host from our current Hodgson site due to the space. The amount of space available to the practice following a move to Skaters Way would increase straight away; we would gain more clinical space. Which in turn would allow us to host more of our current team there. We are currently out to advert for an additional salaried GP to join our team.
"Our current availability is limited by the number of clinical appointments we have to offer at any one time, this number could increase with more space and clinical time available to us.”
The direct distance from Hodgson Surgery to Skaters Way is 0.7 miles.
