A GP surgery in Yatton has benefitted from a £171,000 grant to make the building more accessible for patients and improve infection control.
The Mendip Vale Medical Group, which runs five GP practices in North Somerset, secured a Minor Improvement Grant (MIG) from NHS England and NHS Improvement to carry out the essential work.
Yatton Surgery, which serves more than 14,000 patients, was awarded the money to improve infection control and make the building more accessible for people with disabilities.
It now has two new clinical rooms which were converted from admin space, increasing the number of clinical rooms available in the surgery by 15 per cent.
