We strive to be a trusted partner in our community’s lifelong wellbeing and warmly welcome new registrations from Ferndown, West Moors, West Parley, and Tricketts Cross, as well as residents within our new boundaries in Colehill and Parley Cross.

Our Heritage and Values Named in honour of the Sander family’s world-renowned orchid expertise, our practice carries forward a tradition of nurturing the health of the Ferndown community. We are committed to providing a supportive, inclusive environment where every patient is treated with dignity and personalised care.

We are your local GP practice, dedicated to supporting your health at every stage of life—from day-to-day medical needs to long-term wellness.

Better Together: Our Local Network

We believe in teamwork. Orchid House is a proud member of the Wimborne and Ferndown Primary Care Network (PCN). By working closely with our partners at The Quarter Jack Surgery, Penny’s Hill Practice, and Walford Mill Medical Centre, we can offer you:

  • More services than a single surgery could provide alone.
  • Specialist staff like clinical pharmacists, physiotherapists, and social prescribers.
  • Better access to coordinated local care.

Supported by NHS Dorset

Our work is supported and funded by NHS Dorset. They are the planners behind the scenes, ensuring that healthcare services across the county are funded fairly and designed to meet the needs of everyone in our community.

  • We care for you: Your health is our priority.
  • We work together: Our partnership with local surgeries means more resources for you.
  • NHS Dorset has our back: They provide the planning and funding to keep Dorset healthy.
