Wickham Surgery Boundary Adjustment Approved

Wickham Surgery is pleased to announce that, as of November 6, 2024, our bid to redraw the practice boundary has been approved. 

This adjustment protects our ability to provide sustainable healthcare to our current patients by excluding 90% of the Welborne development from our boundary.

This means that Wickham Surgery will not be responsible for providing primary care to the vast majority of the new homes planned for Welborne. This decision allows us to maintain our high standards of care and ensures that our current patients do not experience a reduction in access to services due to a rapid increase in population.

This boundary adjustment is a crucial step in ensuring the long-term health and well-being of our community. It allows for the planned development of a dedicated healthcare facility within Welborne itself, which will ultimately serve the residents of the new development.

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to our patients who supported our bid to redraw the boundary. Your understanding and advocacy have been instrumental in achieving this solution, enabling us to continue delivering high-quality care to our community. We also thank the Integrated Care Board for their collaboration and support in reaching this sustainable outcome.
