The Willow Group was formed in April 2017 from a group of four long established Gosport GP practices that began working together as one organisation the year before to create the Same Day Access Service at Gosport War Memorial Hospital.
The group consists of Brune, Forton, Stoke Road and Waterside Medical Centres. Working as one organisation has improved resilience to the capacity challenges we’re continuing to experience, and not only improve access to care for our residents, but also the range of care we can deliver. We have also been in partnership with Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust since 2016.
