About us

We are a small, highly regarded rural GP Practice serving approximately 4200 patients just south of Marlborough in Wiltshire. We are part of the East Kennet Primary Care Network, working closely with Ramsbury Surgery, Kennet and Avon Medical Partnership and The Old School Surgery in Great Bedwyn.

Burbage Surgery is a single-Partner Dispensing Practice with 5 GPs and 2 Practice Nurses. We are supported by an excellent dispensary, reception and administrative team, as well as PCN staff including Clinical Pharmacists, First Contact Physio, Health and Wellbeing Coach and Care Coordinators. We are a rural GP Surgery which is very much run in the traditional general practice model. We put the patients at the centre of everything we do, and this is reflected in the recent GP Survey where we scored 99% patient satisfaction, the second-best score in the whole of Wiltshire.
