Your patient records will transfer securely to The Chestnut Practice on 1 November 2026, and The Chestnut Practice will become the data controller for them. How your notes are looked after stays the same. If you would prefer your records not to transfer, you need to tell the practice by 23 October.

The transfer, step by step

1. Before 23 October: If you do not want your records to move to The Chestnut Practice, contact the practice and say so. This is the only deadline in the process, and it falls before the transfer date.
2. 1 November 2026: Your records transfer securely from Fishponds Practice to The Chestnut Practice, which becomes the data controller.
3. After the transfer: Your notes and the way they are looked after remain the same. The care team — Martyn, Gaby, Paddy and Elly — continues treating patients as before, and Nina Hurrell continues as an osteopath alongside her new role as Director.

What stays the same

• Your care team: The osteopaths treating you are not changing.
• Other services: Chiropody with Hilary and Sadie, and holistic massage with Caroline, continue. Paddy will also offer ear wax removal.
• How your notes are handled: The practice states that your notes and how they look after them will stay the same.
• Contact details for now: The phone number remains 0117 949 1290. From November, the new email address is [email protected].

What changes

If you have questions or concerns

The practice invites patients to ring 0117 949 1290 with any questions about the change. Use the same number, or the new email address from November, if you want to discuss your records or ask for them not to transfer — remembering the 23 October cut-off for that request.

The practice is based at 834 Fishponds Road, Bristol BS16 3XA. The rename follows more than 30 years of osteopathic care in Fishponds, with Nina Hurrell, an osteopath there since 2016, becoming Director.

Fishponds Practice is adopting the name the Chestnut Practice after more than 30 years of osteopathic care in Fishponds, Bristol. The change is a rebranding rather than a closure or sale: the same osteopaths — Martyn, Gaby, Paddy and Elly — will keep treating patients as before, and Nina Hurrell, an osteopath at the practice since 2016, becomes Director. The phone number stays the same, and a new website and email address are due in November.

What actually changes

Fees

The practice states its fees remain £60 for an initial consultation and treatment and £55 for follow-up appointments. It also says it does not charge in advance for a series of appointments, since some may not be necessary.

What patients need to do

Most patients need to do nothing. Two points are worth noting:

• Records: from 1 November 2026 your patient records transfer securely to The Chestnut Practice, which becomes the data controller. The practice says your notes and how they are looked after will stay the same. If you would prefer your records not to transfer, you must tell the practice by 23 October.
• Contact details: keep using the existing phone number, 0117 949 1290. From November, use the new email address [email protected] for questions or concerns.

Why the change matters

The practice frames the rename as a way to secure the future of osteopathic care in Fishponds: a long-established clinic continues under a new identity and a new Director, with the existing team and services intact. For patients, the practical effect is limited to the name, the email address and the records controller — appointments, practitioners and pricing carry on as before.

The practice is at 834 Fishponds Road, Bristol BS16 3XA. Until the new website launches in November, the current site and the phone line remain the ways to get in touch.

Fishponds Practice is an osteopathic clinic at 834 Fishponds Road, Bristol BS16 3XA, reachable by phone on 0117 949 1290. It is being renamed the Chestnut Practice, and from November 2026 its email address becomes [email protected]. The phone number stays the same.

Contact details

The practice asks people to ring with questions or concerns, and says the phone number remains unchanged through the rename.

What the practice offers

Osteopathy is the core service, delivered by Martyn, Gaby, Paddy and Elly, with Nina Hurrell continuing to treat patients alongside her new role as Director. Other services at the same address include:

• Chiropody with Hilary and Sadie
• Holistic massage with Caroline
• Ear wax removal with Paddy

Fees

• Initial consultation and treatment: £60
• Follow-up appointments: £55

The practice states it never charges in advance for a series of appointments, some of which may not be necessary.

The rename to the Chestnut Practice

After more than 30 years of osteopathic care in Fishponds, the practice is taking the name the Chestnut Practice, with Nina Hurrell becoming its Director. The same practitioners continue treating patients as before, and the chiropody, massage and ear wax removal services continue too.

From 1 November 2026, patient records transfer securely to the Chestnut Practice, which becomes the data controller. The practice says notes and how they are looked after stay the same. If you would prefer your records not to transfer, you need to tell the practice by 23 October.

Practical points before you call

• Use the current phone number for bookings and any questions about the rename; it is unaffected.
• Hold off on the new email address until November, when it goes live alongside the new website.
• If you have records at the practice and object to the transfer, act before the 23 October deadline rather than waiting until the November changeover.

An initial consultation and treatment at Fishponds Practice is £60, and a follow-up appointment is £55. The practice also states that it never charges in advance for a series of appointments, since some of those appointments may not be necessary.

Fees at a glance

These are the fees the practice lists on its website. The same page does not break down prices by practitioner or treatment type, so if you are booking chiropody, holistic massage or ear wax removal rather than osteopathy, confirm the cost when you call.

What the fee covers and how payment works

The £60 initial fee covers both the consultation and the treatment in one appointment, rather than charging separately for an assessment before any care begins. Follow-ups are charged at the lower £55 rate.

The practice's stated approach is to treat each patient as an individual and not to sell blocks of appointments upfront. That means you are not asked to pay for a course of sessions before you have been assessed, and you should only be booked in for further appointments that are actually needed.

Practical points before you book

• Phone number: 0117 949 1290 — this stays the same through the practice's rename.
• Address: 834 Fishponds Road, Bristol BS16 3XA.
• Name change: the practice is becoming the Chestnut Practice, with Nina Hurrell as Director. The existing osteopaths (Martyn, Gaby, Paddy and Elly) continue treating patients as before, and chiropody with Hilary and Sadie and holistic massage with Caroline also continue. Paddy will additionally offer ear wax removal.
• Records: from 1 November 2026 patient records transfer securely to The Chestnut Practice, which becomes the data controller. If you would prefer your records not to transfer, the practice asks you to tell them by 23 October.
• Contact from November: a new website is due to launch, and the new email address will be [email protected].

Is the price likely to change?

The website presents the £60 and £55 fees as current and does not mention an increase tied to the rename. Because the practice says a new website with full details is launching in November, check the fee when you book rather than relying on this page alone — especially if your appointment falls after the changeover.

Fishponds Practice is an osteopathic clinic at 834 Fishponds Road, Bristol BS16 3XA, reachable on 0117 949 1290. It offers osteopathy alongside chiropody, holistic massage and ear wax removal, and it is in the process of being renamed the Chestnut Practice — a change that also transfers patient records to the new practice from 1 November 2026. If you are looking for treatment in Fishponds, the practical points to know are the service list, the fee structure, and the fact that the name and record-keeping arrangements are changing while the clinicians and phone number stay the same.

Services offered

The practice describes four distinct services, each delivered by named practitioners:

• Osteopathy — the core service, provided for over 30 years. Martyn, Gaby, Paddy and Elly continue treating patients as before, and Nina Hurrell continues as an osteopath in addition to becoming Director.
• Chiropody — with Hilary and Sadie.
• Holistic massage — with Caroline.
• Ear wax removal — offered by Paddy.

The practice states that everyone is treated as an individual and that it never charges in advance for a series of appointments, some of which may not be necessary. That is a useful signal if you are wary of being sold a block of sessions before an assessment has taken place.

Fees

These are the fees stated for osteopathic care. The page does not list separate prices for chiropody, massage or ear wax removal, so ask when booking if cost matters to you.

The rename to Chestnut Practice

After more than 30 years serving Fishponds and the wider area, the osteopathic practice is adopting a new name, the Chestnut Practice, with Nina Hurrell — an osteopath there since 2016 — becoming its Director. The practice frames this as continuity rather than a change of hands: the existing osteopaths keep treating patients, chiropody and massage continue, and the phone number is unchanged.

Two dates matter:

• From 1 November 2026, patient records transfer securely to The Chestnut Practice, which becomes the data controller for them. The practice says notes and how they are looked after will stay the same.
• By 23 October, you should tell the practice if you would prefer your records not to transfer.

A new website is due to launch in November with full details. Until then, the existing site and phone line are the way to get information.

Contact details

• Address: 834 Fishponds Road, Bristol BS16 3XA
• Phone: 0117 949 1290 (unchanged through the rename)
• Email from November: [email protected]

What this means if you are deciding whether to book

If you want osteopathic care in Fishponds from a practice with a long local history, the clinicians and pricing are unchanged by the rebrand, and the phone number still works. The main things to act on are practical: use the current phone line to book, ask about fees for the non-osteopathic services since they are not published, and if you are an existing patient who does not want your records moved to the Chestnut Practice, contact the practice before 23 October.
