About Hamble Valley Health
Hamble Valley Health is an NHS GP practice created through the merger of Blackthorn Health Centre and Hedge End Medical Centre. It serves more than 37,000 patients, mainly in Hamble, Bursledon, Hedge End and Botley. Its three Hampshire sites provide General Medical Services as a single-practice primary care network.
GPs, advanced nurse practitioners, nurses, visiting paramedics and other healthcare professionals deliver consultations, long-term condition care, minor illness assessment and home visits. The practice combines face-to-face care with telephone and online access, using Anima for consultation requests and digital services for appointments and prescriptions. It also trains GP registrars and teaches medical students from Southampton School of Medicine.
Teams across three locations
Blackthorn Health Centre, Hedge End Medical Centre and the Lowford Hub form the practice's three-site service. Its recruitment information describes salaried GPs, advanced nurse practitioners and nursing colleagues supported by a reception and administration team. Visiting paramedics support home care, while an urgent care centre at Bursledon Surgery provides another setting for clinical work.
Training and clinical information
As a training practice, Hamble Valley Health takes registrar doctors and teaches Southampton medical students. Teams use EMIS clinical records, and incoming correspondence is scanned into patient records. The practice describes established processes for prescribing and document workflow, connecting clinical decisions with the information handled by its support teams.
