The old hospice is to be restored before a change of use.

The building in Kensington Road has been bought by Dr Tracey Bell (pictured), of the nearby Craigend Dental Practice.

She says she has always loved old buildings and, as she already owned three properties in the immediate area, it was a natural choice to take on another.

She be offering a variety of cosmetic and specialist aesthetic medical services from the old hospice.

There will also be a new training facility which Dr Bell hopes will help put the Island on map in the area of aesthetic medicine (audio file attached):

Doctor Tracey Bell was talking to John Moss on Mandate.
