Weybridge Health Facility
Weybridge Health Facility is bringing back health and community services to the town.
The Weybridge Health Facility programme brings together NHS Surrey Heartlands, NHS Property Services and Elmbridge Borough Council to redevelop the healthcare and community facilities in Weybridge.
About the Weybridge Health Campus
The Weybridge Health Campus is a visionary redevelopment project led by NHS Surrey Heartlands ICB, in partnership with NHS Property Services and other stakeholders. It aims to replace the former Weybridge Community Hospital, which was tragically destroyed by fire in 2017, with a modern, purpose-built health and wellbeing facility that meets the needs of the local community now and into the future.
The new campus will bring together a range of services under one roof, including:
- The Phoenix Family Practice
- Maternity care
- Same-day urgent care
- Diagnostic services
- Flexible clinical and community space to support evolving service delivery
The new facility will be a vibrant community hub, designed with flexibility and room for future expansion to meet population growth and evolving healthcare needs.
Engagement Journey
Community engagement has been at the heart of the Weybridge Health Campus project. Since early planning stages, local residents, key stakeholders, and partners have been invited to share their views and help shape the development.
Key Milestones:
- May 2022 and January 2023: Initial public engagement events introduced early concepts and gathered feedback. The events were very well attended.
- October 2024: Two in-person engagement events were held at St James’ Parish Centre, Weybridge. Over 130 residents attended, with 39 completing feedback forms. The dedicated website received over 1,000 visits and 66 online responses.
What we heard:
- 99% of respondents supported the principle of redeveloping the site.
