Richmondshire: Catterick Integrated Care Centre - Myth busting campaign
The NHS and Ministry Of Defence (MOD) have launched a six-week myth-busting campaign – Uniquely Us: The Catterick Integrated Care Centre (CICC) – across Catterick and Richmondshire.
We want to help you understand what services the new centre will (and won’t) provide, and make sure you know where to go for the right care.

Come along, meet the team, and have a chat about what the new centre means for you and your family.
