The Health Hive clinic will be moving from the Market Place shopping centre to the Diabetes Centre on Chorley Street towards the end of June.
This will give the health clinic more space to deliver more services.
Bolton GP Federation chair Dr Kamran Khan said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be moving into a larger, more modern space.
“This relocation reflects the incredible growth and success of the Health Hive and our commitment to working closer with our system partners to meet the needs of our communities.

The Health Hive’s new home will include two large consultation rooms which staff hope will help them expand on their capacity and deliver community-based healthcare.
Services at the new location, alongside the diabetes service, will include NHS health checks, smear tests, help stopping smoking and Abdominal Aortic Aneurism screening.
There will also be general advice, guidance and signposting.

Dr Khan said: “We’ll be co-locating with partners who share our values to improve access and reduce inequalities.”
He added: “This is about building stronger connections across primary and secondary care services and making every contact count for Bolton people.”
The clinic first opened at the Market Place back in September 2023, aiming to bring health services to the high street.
