The government’s announcement of more than £102 million to refurbish more than 1,000 GP surgeries is a major moment for UK healthcare. It is one part of the overall goal to unlock 8.3 million more appointments a year and improve patient access across the country.

It is no secret that many GP surgeries are outdated and under pressure. According to the British Medical Association, the average GP premises is more than 35 years old, but a shocking 22% of general practice premises predate the NHS itself (as of 2022).

The age of the NHS infrastructure is a major barrier to modern healthcare. Small consultation rooms, limited accessibility, and inflexible layouts are holding primary care back and this latest investment is our opportunity to change that.

Time to Modernise

The funding will help practices extend, reconfigure and upgrade their environments. But this is not just about improving form and aesthetics, it is about optimising operational flow, building in adaptability and ensuring the infrastructure is ready for the demands of the next decade.

That is exactly where Architectural Wallsz comes in.

AWallsz Solution for Modern Primary Care

We work with GP practices to design and deliver prefabricated interior systems that can be installed faster, cleaner and with less disruption than traditional construction methods.

Here’s what that means in practice:

Rapid Installation

Our multi-trade modular solutions are manufactured off-site and installed rapidly on site. Surgeries stay operational, disruption is minimised, and upgrades happen on your schedule.

Smarter Investment

Prefabrication reduces waste and labour, lowers maintenance requirements, and delivers long-term cost certainty. You get more for your budget, and faster.

Built to Adapt

Consultation rooms, treatment spaces, admin areas – our systems are built to evolve. Whether you are futureproofing for new technologies or reconfiguring to meet demand, we make flexibility easy.

Designed for Patients and Staff

Our finishes are clinical, durable and fully compliant. We focus on infection control, acoustic privacy and creating comfortable, high performing spaces for both patients and professionals.

The Challenge is Clear – So Is the Solution

Many of the surgeries being upgraded were never designed for today’s healthcare needs. Some haven’t had a meaningful refurbishment in decades. This funding gives practices a chance to change that, but speed and quality are crucial.

Architectural Wallsz are already supporting NHS and private healthcare providers with interior systems that reduce lead times and improve outcomes. If you are exploring how to maximise your upgrade budget or how to meet rising patient demand with limited space, we are ready to help.

Let’s deliver healthcare spaces that work today and keep working tomorrow. Contact us today to find out more.
