The health centre, constructed in 1989, is located in Teviot Road on the southeast side of the River Teviot. There are 14 consulting rooms along with dental, physiotherapy, speech therapy, pharmacy and podiatry facilities on the ground floor. Staff facilities and nursing admin offices are on the first floor. At times of severe flooding, there can be problems with the surface water drainage arrangements in this area, and 3 years ago the health centre was flooded. A flood gate system was installed at the external door openings which has been used 2 or 3 times as a precautionary measure to prevent flood water ingress to the building.
