The three centres are in town centre locations in Eccles, Pendleton and Walkden.

The location will also strengthen the sustainability agenda of the four town locations, through the additional economic activity that they will generate and reinforce the need to retain or extend public transport systems. The three sites have been selected after considerable health and economic impact analysis, taking maximum ‘footfall’ into account. Jointly the Council and the PCT have determined that they are the best locations to meet both health and socio-economic regeneration objectives.

These three town centres will provide a solid foundation for the Council and the PCT to make new linkages for promoting public health, increased uptake of library and other services, thereby promoting an increase in overall well being.  Click here for more information on the library services http://www.salford.gov.uk/libraries

The Centres will also provide the physical infrastructure for a significantly increased range of primary health services under one roof such as podiatry, speech and language, physiotherapy and other therapies through to clinical services / interventions which have traditionally been delivered from a hospital setting.

This type of seamless service is very different to that currently delivered in most towns and cities, but we expect that it will significantly improve the experiences of local residents.

Each of the three centres has, in addition to generic clinical accommodation, a particular clinical focus. This has enabled the cost effective provision of more specialist hubs to be created in a community setting. In broad terms, the focus of each centre is:

Eccles – Teaching, learning and research
Pendleton - Children and young people
Walkden - Therapies
