There is a shortage of appointments with all our clinicians. We are doing our best to fulfil the needs of our patients, but please be aware we may not be able to provide an appointment within our usual timeframes. Where possible, please make use of other NHS resources such as the Pharmacy First Service (age 1-64) for minor ailments, Healthier Together and NHS111
Teaching Practice
Medical Students
Fordingbridge Surgery is a teaching Practice and students sometimes sit in with the doctors and nurses. If you prefer not to have a student sitting in, please let the doctor or receptionist know.
General Practitioner Registrars
GP Registrars are often attached to the Practice and are fully qualified doctors gaining experience in general practice.
Videoing Consultations
As part of on-going training some doctors may on occasion video their consultations. Written consent is always obtained from patients prior to their appointment. You of course have the opportunity to decline.
