Clinicians at University Hospitals Dorset are now able to access GP data through the Dorset Care Record from the Ringwood Medical Practice in Hampshire. The GP practice, part of the Avon Valley Primary Care Network, is the first cross-border surgery to provide this information.
As well as covering Ringwood, the practice also takes patients from parts of the New Forest, including the surroundings villages of Ibsley, Poulner and Hightown, as well as patients living in the Dorset villages of Ashley Heath and St Leonards.
We are continuing to work with other cross-border GP practices including the Coastal Medical Partnership at New Milton and surgeries on the Wiltshire/Dorset border, such as Sixpenny Handley on the Cranborne Chase to ensure that clinicians based in Dorset can see all of the information about their patients held by GPs in different counties.
