Locks Road Surgery

Option decided for GP services in Western Wards, Fareham – Update from the Southampton, Hampshire, Isle of Wight and Portsmouth PCT Cluster

Over the last few weeks the Hampshire Local Involvement Network (LINk) has been discussing options with patients and residents about providing GP services for local people in the Locks Heath area.

Following the decision made by Dr Roope and Partners for the GP Practice to consolidate their services onto a single site at their main surgery in Whiteley, resulting in the closure of their Locks Road branch surgery in Locks Heath, NHS Hampshire worked with local practices and estates specialists to explore and develop feasible options for providing GP services for local people in the Locks Heath area, including the expected population growth.

During the autumn the Hampshire LINk discussed the three options with local patients and residents and we would like to thank everyone who took the time to share their views by filling in a survey or attending a drop-in event. The LINk used the views it received to make recommendations to NHS Hampshire and the report submitted to the PCT is available at www.hampshire-link.co.uk .

At its meeting on January 31, 2012 the Southampton, Hampshire, Isle of Wight and Portsmouth PCT Cluster Board determined that establishing a GP service in Fareham Community Hospital was the most suitable option for providing sustainable primary care medical services for the existing and future population of the Western Wards in Fareham.

This new surgery will provide GP services for patients who currently use Locks Road Branch Surgery, which is due to close, and are unable to travel to the main surgery in Whiteley to see their current GP. It will also have additional space for current and future residents within the local area.

Following the Board decision NHS Hampshire will now develop plans to establish a brand new GP service at the Fareham Community Hospital. In the meantime Dr Roope and Partners have agreed to continue to provide services from both the Whiteley and Locks Road Surgeries until the new service is established.

Dr Mark Dennison sends greetings to all his former patients and colleagues from New Zealand both he and his family are well and enjoying their new adventure to the other side of the world

Dr Dennison's team 'Blistering Speed' have completed their 100km walk for Oxfam. Mark says ' We did really well- 58th out of 250 teams which we were delighted with. It's the first time I've ever done any sort of endurance event- fabulous feeling to complete it. We smashed what we thought we might get by way of donations- initially we were aiming at $2500 but we've got more than $5000, helped by the generous people of Locks Heath obviously. The Oxfam crew were amazing- lots of volunteers all around the course, all cheerful even in the early hours. Overall the event has raised close to $700k, phenomenal for a country this size'.

    Patient Reference Group (PRP)

The Practice is asking for patients to join a patient reference group

With your consent to join this group your details will be held in a secure database

The Practice periodically will use this database to contact patients to gauge feedback on services the practice currently provides or would like to provide in the future

The Practice already has a core patient participation group who meet quarterly to discuss patient issues but to also receive information around changes affecting general practice,  this core goup will continue to work closely with the surgery and questions arising will be discussed and form the basis of future questionnaires

The new PRP will be representative so not all patients who have given us their details will be contacted every time as there may be reasons we need to target specific patients for example the elderly or young carers  

Results from questionnaires will be published via this website or will be available on request to the Practice Manager

This surgery website is used to present all our patients with up to date news and information about our practice.  We will keep it current with any developments or other details that we feel are relevant to you.
