🧱👷Rosedean House Surgery Redevelopment – Project Update

We are continuing to make strong progress on the planned redevelopment of Rosedean House Surgery and remain fully committed to delivering a modern, high-quality healthcare facility for the community of Liskeard.

We are currently working closely with the NHS Cornwall and Isles of Scilly ICB, the local authority and all key stakeholders on the final designs. We will incorporate feedback received during the pre-planning application and afterwards to improve accessibility, pedestrian flow, and integration with the wider public space and access for public transport. Once the updated design is finalised, a full planning application will be submitted to the local planning authority. The statutory determination period is expected to take approximately 13 weeks from submission.

Subject to planning approval, we anticipate starting redevelopment in late spring or early summer 2026, with an estimated 12-month construction period. This would allow completion of the new Rosedean House Surgery premises by mid-2027.

We look forward to sharing the updated design images very soon, which will showcase the revised layout and improved access arrangements. The updated designs will be shared in the surgery and on the project microsite, https://www.onemedicalproperty.co.uk/microsites/rosedean/, so do please keep an eye out for further information in the coming weeks.

We are moving forward with exciting progress on the planned redevelopment of Rosedean House Surgery and remain fully committed to delivering a modern, high-quality healthcare facility for the Liskeard community.

✅ Work-related stress is a major issue: in 2023/24, 776,000 workers in Great Britain suffered from stress, depression, or anxiety, costing the economy £28 billion annually.
✅ Almost 1 in 3 people have experienced suicidal thoughts or feelings because of stress.

The good news? Help is available.

🩺 November is National Diabetes Month 🩺

Diabetes UK is raising awareness of diabetes, a condition that affects over 5.8 million people in the UK, and that number is rising every year.

🔍 Know the signs. Save a life.
For Type 1 Diabetes, early diagnosis is crucial. Look out for the 4 Ts:

Toilet – going to the loo more often, especially at night
Thirsty – being constantly thirsty and unable to quench it
Tired – feeling unusually exhausted
Thinner – sudden or unexplained weight loss

These symptoms can appear suddenly and affect anyone, at any age. If you notice any of these signs, speak to your GP immediately.

📊 Did you know?

Around 8% of people with diabetes have Type 1, an autoimmune condition often diagnosed in childhood or young adulthood.

Type 2 Diabetes accounts for 90% of cases and can be linked to lifestyle factors.

An estimated 6.3 million people in the UK are at increased risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes.

💙 This month, let’s talk about diabetes. Share the 4 Ts. Encourage loved ones to get checked. Early action can prevent serious complications.
