Result
Our thanks to Apollo for providing such a high-quality, well designed building which we feel sure will enable us to provide quality primary care services for Our patients and the local community.
We are particularly impressed with the eco-friendly features of the building and the high-quality finish. The new medical centre has an outstanding profile on the main Otley Road and has been designed internally to provide an excellent working environment for our team. We particularly appreciate Apollo’s attention to detail which makes all the difference between a purely functional and a very attractive building.
Dr Wendy Leedham, GP partner
The practice selected Apollo as our development partner for our new premises based on the high quality and individual design element of their buildings and we haven‘t been disappointed. Our new medical centre is as attractive as it is functional. The building has been tailored to support the way that we deliver primary care services and Apollo were very responsive to our requirements; specifically the space to provide open access for our patients and the desire to avoid isolated working. We now have an impressive building which has cleverly maximised natural light and promotes a feeling of spaciousness. The new medical centre enables Farrow Medical Centre and now also Farrow Pharmacy to continue the 60-year legacy originally founded by Dr Stefan Farrow of providing quality,‘patient-focused healthcare in the Otley Road area of Bradford.
