NHS staff and key partners gather to mark 10 years of supporting community health at Parkview Centre for Health and Wellbeing.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of Parkview Centre for Health and Wellbeing in White City, West London, with a range of NHS staff and patients, local groups and healthcare partners getting together this week to celebrate the vital role the building has played in supporting the local community over the last decade.
The £30 million Parkview Centre opened in 2014 and was built to bring together a range of local health, social care and community facilities all under one roof in a modern building in the heart of the community. As well as bringing together local GP practices, Parkview also offers community dental services; mental health support; podiatry services; and speech and language therapists, with social services staff from the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham (www.lbhf.gov.uk) also co-located at the building.
While delivering new community health facilities was the driving force behind the project, the development of Parkview also helped to deliver modern new housing for local residents, including 170 affordable housing units, together with a pharmacy, mini supermarket, and improvements to Wormholt Park which sits next to the building.
Parkview Centre for Health and Wellbeing was delivered under the NHS LIFT Programme which brings together healthcare investor Fulcrum (www.fulcrumgroup.co.uk), with Community Health Partnerships (CHP), a key part of the NHS family. Parkview has grown to become a central part of the local community over the last 10 years, with a number of partnerships also formed with local organisations to further support community health – this includes partnering with QPR football club to deliver a range of health initiatives for residents of all ages and supporting the W12 Health and Wellbeing Festival in 2022.

This week, representatives from Fulcrum and CHP met with NHS staff and healthcare partners at Parkview to celebrate
the building’s 10th anniversary and the important role it continues to play in the local community.
It’s wonderful to see Parkview Centre for Health and Wellbeing celebrate this milestone. The facility has been instrumental in the local community, by delivering both health and community services all under one roof benefiting many local patients. Partnership working with both NHS and private partners has been integral in ensuring the centre continues to flourish and supports healthcare delivery in many years to come.
Huge congratulations to everyone at Parkview on the 10th anniversary of this vital health building and for the crucial role they’ve played in supporting the NHS and community health over the last decade. The NHS LIFT Programme has been a driving force in delivering modern health facilities throughout England, and the continued success of Parkview underlines the huge value in investing in a range of integrated health services in the heart of the community.
Parkview is home to four GP surgeries who offer superb NHS services to many residents from the local area. There are also many supportive services which provide valuable health and assistance to the young and old. As Chair of Canberra Old Oak surgery I host surgery meetings every 3 months in one of the Community rooms - it’s an ideal place to meet because these rooms are a safe meeting place for residents and is proof that Parkview Centre for Health and Wellbeing is such an asset to the local community.
