  We are a small practice of approx. 5100 patients, dispensing to almost 100% (approx. 12,500 items per month). Wickhambrook surgery sits centrally in the countryside between Haverhill, Newmarket, Bury St Edmunds, Sudbury and Clare. We are served by a good road structure; however, bus links are infrequent so own transport is essential.
Our friendly team consists of 3 GP partners, 1 salaried GP, GP registrars, nurses and HCAs, who are all well supported by very efficient reception, admin and dispensing teams. Our services are further enhanced by colleagues from our primary care network (West Suffolk Rural PCN) who provide services such as physiotherapy, life coaching and wellbeing.
