Ramsbury Surgery is a purpose built medical centre in the village of Ramsbury. The village is nine miles from the town of Marlborough in Wiltshire and is very rural. The practice also has a branch surgery in the village of Wanborough, also in Wiltshire.
Services are provided from;
Rmmsbury Surgery, Whittonditch Road, Ramsbury, Marlborough, Wiltshire, SN8 2QT
and
Wanborough Surgery, 3-5 Ham Road, Wanborough, Swindon, Wiltshire, SN4 0DF.
We only visited the main site in Ramsbury during this inspection. Both practice locations offer a dispensary service.
The practice registered population is drawn from rural locations covering 180 square miles. Approximately 9,000 patients are registered with the practice.
Patients can attend either the main practice in Ramsbury or the branch practice at Wanborough. Around 2,500 of the registered patients prefer to use the Wanborough practice because it is closer to their homes. Data from Public Health England shows that the practice has a similar data profile to local and national figures for all age groups. This data also shows that the practices highest number of patients is in the over 65 years age range. The index of multiple deprivation shows the practice to be in the least deprived centile.
There are four GPs partners at the practice. The partners are supported by two salaried GPs (female), four practice nurses, two health care assistants and an administrative team led by the practice manager. The practice is a training practice for medical students, nursing students and qualified doctors. When the practice is closed patients are directed via the practice website to NHS 111. Out of hours services are provided by the Medvivo.
