Welcome to The Burnham Market Surgery

It is our aim on this website to provide information you may need as an existing patient or, if you are looking to move into the area, some knowledge of who we are, how we operate and what facilities we can provide for your healthcare. 

The surgery was opened in 1982 by HRH The Duchess of Kent

Emergencies
If you need to see a doctor in an emergency you can call the Surgery on 01328 737000 during opening times, weekdays 8.00am to 6.30pm - or the patient can be taken immediately to the Surgery if well enough to be moved.
 
Out of hours please call the Emergency Doctor on 01603 488488.  You will be asked for your name and telephone number by the operator and the Doctor will call you back to ask about your symptoms after which he will either give advice or ask you to come and see him at the emergency surgery.  He will come and see you if he considers it necessary.  Information about out of hours provision can be found on our Changes to Healthcare page and on the website www.anglianmedicalcare.org.uk

If your call is not an emergency please make an appointment in the normal way.

Home Visits
Please telephone the Surgery 01328 737000 before 10.30am if at all possible.  You will be asked for the patients full name and address, where the patient is to be seen, your telephone number and details of the patient's condition.
This information will enable the Doctor to assess the priority of the visit. 
Please ask for a home visit only if the patient is too ill to wait to be brought to the surgery. 
If you feel that the patient is too ill to wait for the Doctor's normal rounds, please stress this fact to the receptionist on the telephone.

Community Car Scheme
Please contact Daphne Potter, Scheme Co-ordinator on 01485 525511if you need transport to a hospital or surgery.  There is a 40p per mile charge.  See Report of 2004/5
