Supporting the long-term mental and physical health of patients with comprehensive refurbishment services

About the project

This project involved a comprehensive refurbishment and new circulation core to the existing 3-storey office and domestic accommodation for the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust. The new multi-purpose space at Graseby House includes a new support hub for locals with long-term medical conditions. 

 

Graseby House will enable both patients and carers to access the correct support and information, ensuring a better quality of life for individuals, both mentally and physically.
