\n The Cranborne Practice in Verwood will gain a new high-capacity medical hub on 131 Newtown Road, expected to create space for at least 28,000 additional in-person appointments per year.\n<\/p>\n
\n Construction is slated to begin on March 12, with completion targeted for mid-summer 2026.\n<\/p>\n
\n Jo Morris, managing partner at the Cranborne Practice, said: “This refurbishment is more than just a building project; it\u2019s a commitment to our patients.\n<\/p>\n
\n “By expanding our footprint at Newtown Road, we are ensuring that The Cranborne Practice remains at the forefront of local healthcare, providing the capacity and modern environment our community deserves.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The project will fully refurbish the practice\u2019s bungalow site, turning it into a modern clinical environment.\n<\/p>\n
\n It will include three new consulting rooms, a dedicated patient waiting area, fully accessible modern toilet facilities, and a new administrative office to support practice operations.\n<\/p>\n
\n Currently, the Cranborne Practice delivers around 10,500 appointments each month, with 68 per cent already taking place in person.\n<\/p>\n
\n The development is intended to meet rising demand and improve access to care for the growing Verwood community.\n<\/p>\n
\n Once operational, the upgraded site will enable a significant increase in appointment availability, helping to reduce waiting times and offer patients greater choice.\n<\/p>\n
\n The practice said it was committed to maintaining its usual high standard of care across its existing locations throughout the duration of the build.\n<\/p>\n
\n The expansion also opens the possibility for additional health services in the future.\n<\/p>\n
\n The ‘Bungalow Hub’ could eventually support specialist clinics and community health programmes, further broadening care options available within Verwood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Cranborne Practice in Verwood will gain a new high-capacity medical hub on 131 Newtown Road, expected to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":453133,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[102,2960,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-453132","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-healthcare","tag-health","tag-healthcare","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453132","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=453132"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453132\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/453133"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=453132"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=453132"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=453132"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
