Some of you will be aware Coastal Medical Partnership has a small surgery premises behind the pharmacy in Hordle, consisting of two clinical rooms and an office. This is used by our Mental Health and Wellbeing team for seeing patients and holding meetings. Due to the lease ending on 31st March 2025, we have an opportunity to vacate the premises and move this team into our current buildings in New Milton.

This means that for the vast majority of our patients, getting to your appointments with the Mental Health and Wellbeing team will be easier, due to better public transport links, and will be closer to where you live.  For patients in our Lymington surgery, we will be running some clinics there too.

No patients are registered at Hordle surgery, as all are registered at either our New Milton or Barton sites.  There are no GPs or nurse led clinics at the Hordle premises, so there is not anticipated to be an adverse impact on patients. This plan has been shared with local stakeholders and members of our Patient Participation Group who have all supported this move. 

By improving our estates strategy, we are able to better use our NHS resources, and having our team working closer together will improve interaction, communication and therefore, ultimately, patient care.
