Tony Barton explains how it was business as usual during his practice refurbishment.

From the very beginning of my time with my practice the décor was dated and in much need of refreshing. Some of the furniture also needed replacing and updating, and so we immediately formed plans to completely re-design and refurbish the practice and give it a whole new lease of life. We wanted the practice to appeal to a wide range of patients, so my team and I worked together to create a design we thought would be effective and allow a highly efficient workflow whilst looking great.

Our main issue within the practice was a serious lack of space – the entrance area and reception was very cramped, the office lacked any privacy as it looked straight out into the waiting area, and one of the surgeries was very dark with poor access. In the end, we decided that all three surgery rooms needed to be completely stripped back to bare walls, refitted and redecorated, the reception area needed some structural changes and the office needed relocating.
