Exciting times at our Denmead building site - firstly, we have confirmed the date for our OPEN DAY, it will be on Saturday, 25 June 2011, 1-4pm.  The clinic will be open for appointments from Monday 27 June!  The 'Dalmatian Bouncy Castle' has been booked, the balloons are on order, the BBQ will be there, the big question left now is do we go for Pimms or Champagne?  ....or BOTH!!

With less than 10 days until our Open Day, it's all hands on deck to get everything up and running.  With the plastering finished and most of the paint work complete, it is all taking shape.  The flooring goes down today, and will be a far cry from the rubble that was everywhere just a few months ago.  All the plumbing is in, with running water on tap, and the fitters are finishing the piped gas supply to all the clinical areas.  The builders are going to work through the weekend so that next week we can start getting the consulting rooms and the prep-room stocked ready for work on Monday 27 June.

All of our staff who will be working in the clinic have started with us (at our Emsworth clinic for now)...  More news about our staff to follow!  And yes, the builders are confident we will be ready for the Open Day (just a reminder - it's 25 June, we hope to see you there!).

More news to follow soon...

In addition, the walls are finally starting to go up inside, which means we have finally been able to start getting a feel of what it will be like inside - we have all been impressed by how large and spacious the consulting rooms are and look forward to showing you round.

Over the past few weeks the builders have got the underfloor heating installed, the floor levelled, our electricity supply was finally connected (thank you British Gas, at last!!), most of the equipment to be installed in the clinic has been ordered and most importantly, the majority of our staff who will be working in the clinic have started with us (at our Emsworth clinic for now)...  More news about our staff to follow!  And yes, the builders are confident we will be ready for the Open Day (just a reminder - it's 25 June, we hope to see you there!).

Wow!  Our new clinic is definitely looking like a building site at the moment, as the photos below will testify.  Unfortunately, we experienced our first vandalism incident recently, we had a few of our windows smashed and the builders safety fencing was pulled down, at least it happened when no one was at the site, but it left us all feeling a little sad.  As for the building work...  the flooring has been dug out, the ceilings have been exposed, some brick work has gone up and their is now no ceiling/floor under/over the offices.  

In addition, we have also spent a lot of time sourcing fittings and equipment for the clinic...  we have a big shopping list and have a meeting planned this week to start finalising and placing orders for a lot of the diagnostic equipment, including state-of-the-art digital x-ray and ultrasound.

The builders are still confident that we will be ready for our planned June opening.
