Brownhill Surgery will be Closing on 30th November 2017

July 21, 2017 By SO53 News 3 Comments

The Brownhill surgery on Brownhill Road in Chandler’s Ford will be closing on 30th November 2017.

According to a letter dated 13th July, from West Hampshire Clinical Commissioning Group, “The Brownhill Surgery will remain open and you can continue to access all of the same services until 30 November 2017, so please do not re-register with another practice at this stage.”

The letter said,

“The Brownhill Surgery has informed the NHS (West Hampshire Clinical Commissioning Group) that they are no longer able to continue to provide general medical services after the 30th November 2017.

This has been an extremely difficult decision for Drs Farmer and Tromans.

The decision has been taken due to difficulties in the recruitment of General Practitioners as a result of national GP shortages and increasing workload pressure. ”

West Hampshire CCG said they are reviewing options for the future provision of services. They would like to hear your views on whether:

1) You would prefer for the NHS to re-register you with one of 9 local practices, including

  4. Archers Practice
  5. Parkside Family Practice
  6. Boyatt Wood Surgery
  7. St Andrew’s Surgery
  8. Twyford Surgery
  9. Stokewood Surgery

This would be undertaken according to the closest practice to your address (usually within 3 miles).

OR,
2) You would prefer to be given the choice of practice with which you register.

The practice you choose would need to be within the geographical catchment area of that practice.

Your views can be given by completing a short survey (which contains 17 questions) Brownhill Surgery, Chandler’s Ford, and only takes 10 minutes to complete.

The survey will be available until 11th August 2017. Paper copies of the survey are available from the Brownhill Surgery.

    Thank you very much for this posting. This is quite a shock for us and we are going to regret seeing the doctors we have come to know well. Any idea what is going to happen to Dr Tromans ? I suppose Dr Farmer is retiring ?

      Jocelyne,

      Yes this is also a shock to us as my family is with the surgery. I think the best way to find out what happens next would be to attend one of the drop-in events. It amazes me that in such a comfortable area a surgery has to close. This decision will have an impact on thousands of patients.

    […] machines seem to have replaced precious human interactions at supermarket and banks, and even our local GP surgery is closing, so undoubtedly some people (especially vulnerable people, young and old) may be feeling alienated […]
