The Catterick Integrated Care Centre (CICC), is a hospital located in Catterick Garrison, North Yorkshire, England. The hospital is a joint facility between the National Health Service (NHS) and the Ministry of Defence (MoD) with a split that is roughly 25% NHS, and 75% MoD. The hospital is expected to fully open in the autumn of 2026 and have a staffing level of 300, spread between NHS and MoD medical professionals.

History

When the British Army developed Catterick Garrison on 1915, they built a 200-bed hospital opposite to where Catterick Camp railway station was located.[1] This was in turn replaced by the Duchess of Kent Military Hospital in 1976, which was located near to the main road through the garrison.[2] The Duchess of Kent Military Hospital closed in June 1999, with services being transferred away to medical establishments elsewhere.[3] With other bases being closed, and the concentrating of resources at Catterick Garrison, the increasing personnel numbers,[i] and their dependants, meant that all services in the town were tested to see what needed to be improved, including leisure and medical facilities.[5]

The CICC was first proposed as a joint facility in 2015 under the name Catterick Integrated Care Campus, approval was given in 2022 to build a brand new hospital that would cater for armed forces personnel and their families, as well as local civilians.[6][7] The facility has the possibility to treat 1,000 patients a day, and these will be spread over cardiac rehabilitation, diabetes care, urgent GP care appointments, mental health support, paediatrics, physiotherapy, trauma and orthopaedic clinics, and rehabilitation services for injured military personnel.[8] The new facility is located on Peronne Lines (sections of the camp at Catterick Garrison are divided into lines).[ii][10] When the integrated care facility is opened, the Harewood GP practice in the garrison will move into the new building.[11] Other services from the same NHS trust, such as mental health surgeries at North Moor House and Colburn, will also move into the new unit.[12]

The facility is expected to open in autumn 2026 at a cost of £110 million,[iii] and is projecting that 75% of its patients will be military personnel, and the other 25% will be civilians.[14] From above looking at the building in a northwards direction, the building resembles a capital 'E' shape, and at its maximum is 18 metres (59 ft) high, and some 113 metres (371 ft) long, and 54 metres (177 ft) wide.[15] The footprint of the building is expected to cover 12,000 square metres (130,000 sq ft).[16]
