Since its inception in 1994 Friends of Lyndhurst Surgery (FOLS) has raised more than £135,000 which has been spent on equipment not provided by the NHS for GP surgeries.
Our aim is:
To continue to raise awareness and funds to support Lyndhurst Surgery by providing equipment and training which is not funded by the NHS. In addition to this as equipment reaches the end of its useful life, and is deemed to be unserviceable, it becomes our priority to purchase like replacements. and assist with servicing and replacement as and when required. With ever increasing patient numbers and funding cuts within the NHS it is vital that we do our very best to support our local surgery.
The use of this equipment has already saved many patients both the stress and expense of journeys to the hospital.
FOLS Committee:
Membership of FOLS committee is restricted to twelve people with many others wishing to work alongside us, these people known as “Friends of FOLS” are invaluable to us. If you would like to become a Friend of FOLS and would consider donating towards the many things we provide for the benefit of the surgery contact us.
Please help us to continue to assist the doctors and staff to provide the best possible care for patients of Lyndhurst Surgery.
