The Partners
Hamble Valley Health
This post has a base as their main site at Blackthorn Health Centre. On a rolling basis, you will also work in our Urgent Care Centre which is at Bursledon Surgery. This is on a fair share rota. In the same way, you will be our "operational director" around once every 3-4 weeks. This means you are the clinical lead for the urgent care centre in the practice. This requires a longer working day (8am to 6.30pm). Routine care is generally 13 appointments in the morning and 12 in the afternoon. Mornings are generally 8am-1pm, and afternoons 2pm-6pm. We are a single practice Primary Care Network. We have visiting paramedics, so apart from terminal care, visits are rare. You will be responsible for the prescriptions, pathology results and incoming correspondence for your list size. On average, you will manage around 40 prescriptions a week, 20 results a week, and 5 letters a week per session. We have robust processes in place to support prescribing and document workflow.
Blackthorn Health Centre and Hedge End Medical Centre have merged and are now known as Hamble Valley Health.
Our list size is over 37000, and our patients are mainly concentrated in Hamble, Bursledon, Hedge End and Botley. Our aim is to provide high quality, accessible medical care to our patients, whilst maintaining a supportive and pleasant working environment for clinicians and staff.
We are part of Hampshire and Isle of Wight ICB, and offer General Medical Services to our patients.
We are a training practice, and take registrar doctors and also teach medical students from Southampton School of Medicine.
The practice has seven Partners. The current Partnership team is Dr Harris, Dr Cropley, Dr Graham, Dr Sonpal, Dr Shahsavanspour, Dr Yates and Dr McKenzie.
We employ fourteen salaried GPs, five Advanced Nurse Practitioners, a Nursing team of fifteen, and a reception/admin team of seventy.
The practice uses Emis as a clinical system. We are paper light, so scan all incoming correspondence onto patients medical records.
