Bryant Healthcare has moved into the James Williams NHS Healthy Living Centre at the Pentagon Centre, Chatham, becoming the first practice to do so since it opened. The centre, funded by NHS Kent and Medway and Medway Council, is designed to house GP and community health services in the same space in a bid to better coordinate care.

Key Points:
No clear negative impact identified.
Bryant Healthcare and NHS Kent and Medway are adding local care space, which could mean faster access and fewer trips for patients, though the benefit may be limited to one community.
