A video showing off the "fantastic, modern healthcare facility" which has opened in Lillington has been released by South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust (SWFT).

Lillington Health Hub integrates primary care services with a range of community health teams and will "support increased access to vital services for the local population".

The development cost £6.3 million, which included £2.8 million from Warwick District Council's (WDC) CIL fund and £228,000 from its shared prosperity fund.

The site will be home to a range of health and wellbeing services, including the district nursing and community paediatric teams.

In addition, there will be paediatric clinics, speech and language services, and community dental services.

Cllr Jim Sinnott, portfolio holder for communities and leisure at WDC, said: "This is a fantastic new facility for the residents of Lillington, combining a wide variety of essential health services that are easily accessible in one place.

"Warwick District Council has invested in and supported the partnership by working with several local organisations, and this will bring benefits to the health of the local community for many years to come."

Adam Carson, managing director at South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust, said: "This is a really exciting development.

"We know that bringing services together helps to make them more accessible and supports better outcomes for people, and this new facility is a great example of what can be achieved when partners work collaboratively.

"Thank you to everyone who has supported this project; it is fantastic to see such an investment in this community."

As part of the hub offering, there is a dedicated Health and Wellbeing Co-ordinator.

Becky Canton, explains more about her role and what you can do to get involved with the hub: "I will be linking with residents and the thriving community organisations that already exist in Lillington to provide more health and wellbeing activities in the area.

"We will work together to provide information about a range of services and over time we hope to develop volunteering opportunities that utilise volunteers and patients' skills and talents to benefit their physical and mental health. 

"We are currently seeking clear communicators who are comfortable speaking on the phone to become SWFT Contact Centre volunteers.
