Hamble Valley Health is a single practice Primary Care Network (PCN). It is the result of the merger of Blackthorn Health Centre and Hedge End Medical Centre Partnerships. The practice has three sites: Blackthorn Health Centre, Hedge End Medical Centre, and the Lowford Hub. All three sites provide General Medical Services (GMS) to the registered patient population.
This partnership is a significant step forward for both practices and our patient community. It represents, not just a merging of resources, but a fusion of our vision – to provide a responsive, innovative and flexible service for our patients. It will also help safeguard GP services for many years to come.
The merging of two established and resilient practices provide the opportunity to create a new organisation on a long term sustainable footing able to capitalise for patients the strengths and opportunities for improvement that come with scale whilst still supporting the fundamentals of general practice so valued by patients and the GP partners.
