00:00 How you doing gents? Fantastic day for Highley, the opening of the new Highley Medical Practice.

00:05 Good to be here.

00:06 It's been a fantastic day. It's ten years in the making.

00:10 Turning one of the worst physical locations for a medical practice into one of the best here in Highley.

00:17 And Stuart, you're supporting your own injuries at the minute, but you've hobbled here today too.

00:22 Fantastic for the area isn't it?

00:24 It's great to see a community come together to look at the vision.

00:27 I saw it last year with Philip who's been on this journey all the way through.

00:31 And to see the end result is absolutely amazing.

00:34 And it will be transformational for Highley, fully behind it.

00:38 This is Jess Harvey, Clinical Director. What a title.

00:42 I know, it sounds quite nice doesn't it?

00:44 It's good, it's good.

00:45 It's a special day today.

00:47 We've just got the building behind you which is where you have been having to operate out of.

00:52 What does it mean then to the community and to yourselves as practitioners having this new facility?

00:58 Essentially I've just been part of a group who have helped to get this new health and wellbeing centre

01:05 starting to be established within the 7th Centre behind us.

01:07 British North Medical Practice have now taken over Highley

01:10 and they've been working out of this portacabin that we're standing next to.

01:13 But are going to be hopefully moving soon into the main building inside.

01:16 I think what we're really trying to create there is just an amazing resource that's going to be there for patients.

01:21 So not only looking at their medical care but there's so much more on offer there.

01:25 And that's what we're hoping to really do is just kind of create a space where people can connect.

01:29 Where people can feel safe, where they can have lots of other services delivered to them as well as their medical services.

01:34 How you doing guys, what's your names?
