Relocating Health on the Highstreet

Relocating health onto the high street is not only feasible, but also a very smart move for the future of our town centres.

Healthcare typically brings strong covenants and long-term leases, offering a level of stability that many retailers are no longer able to provide. That security – often government backed – makes them an attractive anchor for landlords and investors alike.

But the real opportunity lies in how we shape the ecosystem around them. By supplementing health services with complementary uses – such as wellbeing hubs, different types of care, co-living, commercial and retail spaces, and even leisure – high streets can evolve into vibrant, mixed-use destinations.

This integrated model has the potential to not only revitalise struggling high streets, but also deliver real community benefit. It makes services more accessible, increases footfall, and can prove commercially profitable.

​In short, health on the high street is both viable and valuable – for people, places, and investors.
