NHS Southwark Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and Community Health Partnerships (CHP) are looking to develop a £20m centre providing primary care, community mental health services and support for patients with long-term conditions.
The project will be delivered through the Building Better Health – Lambeth, Southwark, & Lewisham Lift programme.
"Over the past decade CHP, through the Lift programme, has successfully delivered over 300 similar projects, which have provided a significant range of health and regeneration benefits through the creation of community-based buildings and facilities,” said CHP chief executive Sue O’Connell.
Lift projects had faced a number of delays after the abolition of primary care trusts, with uncertainties over the approvals process following the introduction of CCGs.
