Building work has begun on the new Integrated Medical Centre in Corringham. To mark the start of building works, leaders from the Thurrock Integrated Care Partnership – which includes the NHS, Thurrock Council and the voluntary sector – invited Corringham residents, staff and parents of Graham James Primary Academy and councillors to an online event to find out more about the building works and what services the centre will provide when it opens next year. Stephanie Dawe, Chief Nurse and Executive Director of Integrated Care for Essex and Kent, NELFT, said: “The new medical centre will be at the heart of the community, so the virtual engagement event was a great opportunity for us to tell residents what services Corringham IMC will provide, and how we are ensuring local people are kept safe and updated during the building works.
