GPs celebrate the grand opening of new Edgbaston Clinic

A new private GP clinic officially opened its doors in Edgbaston on 26 February 2025.

Dr Rupa Parmar, Medical Director of Midland Health, welcomed consultants and healthcare professionals for the grand opening event, providing them with the first look at the state-of-the-art facilities. She was particularly eager to show them the new radiology suite and Minor Procedure Room, equipped with advanced imaging capabilities that allow for fast imaging.

Commenting on the success of the launch, Dr Parmar said: “The opening of our Francis Road clinic marks a significant step forward in delivering modern, accessible healthcare more widely available in Edgbaston. It was great to celebrate this milestone with the team and see so many familiar faces who have supported us along the way.

“We hope the clinic will continue to grow, becoming a hub for even more specialists and expanding the range of services available to our patients. Our vision is to create a space where patients can receive the care they need, all under one roof.

“It is essential to keep our community healthy, and the best way to do that is through collaboration with other local healthcare professionals. We all have the same goal in mind: to ensure patients have access to outstanding clinical spaces and get the medical attention they deserve.

The new clinic provides a range of services, including consultancy and neurodiversity services, as well as a fully equipped Minor Procedure Room with advanced imaging capabilities, a dedicated recovery area, and a pre-op assessment room. The on-site radiology department offers X-rays, ultrasounds, and advanced imaging, with a minor operating theatre featuring an imaging C-arm for interventional radiological procedures.

There is also a dedicated Children’s Hub, providing a calm and welcoming environment for young patients and their families.

The team have designed a training centre to support the ongoing professional development of healthcare teams in the Midlands. The space is available for other practices to use, providing a dedicated environment for breakout sessions and hands-on practical training.

Patients can also park for free for up to two hours while visiting the clinic, with 1,200 spaces available through Midland Health’s partnership with Broadway Plaza. The clinic also provides wheelchair access from the rear car park and a disabled toilet, ensuring a comfortable, stress-free experience for all patients.
