Creating stronger primary care services in Burnham, Berrow and Highbridge

Following a busy engagement period with patients and local stakeholders, we are pleased to confirm that earlier this month, the NHS Somerset Integrated Care Board confirmed its approval of the proposal to merge the surgeries and agreed a merger date of Tuesday 11 November 2025.

This change will enable our teams to access and update one shared patient medical record system to more efficiently care for our population and will bring together all three sites at Love Lane, Pepperall Road and Berrow Health Campus into one primary care contract.
