The Putneymead Medical Centre's new premises was officially opened last week.

Local MP Justine Greening cut the ribbon to officially open the building in Upper Richmond Road.

The new centre was formed from the merger of three GP surgeries to become one of the largest of it's kind in London.

It is spread over four floors, with an NHS general practice, pharmacy, MRI and DEXA bone density scanner.

Parkside Hospital is located on the top floor, with The Putney Clinic on the second which offers yoga, acupuncture and physiotherapy.

Ms Greening met with residents and centre staff to discuss the new facilities and how they served the local community.

She said: "It is a privilege to open this fantastic new facility which is right on the doorstep of many local residents.

"It took a huge amount of effort by the GP practices that have moved but these new premises will mean a real improvement for residents registered at the Putneymead Medical Centre."
