  Box Surgery is an established and respected 3 Partner Practice which explores and delivers comprehensive integrated healthcare. The practice is considered progressive and encourages people to take responsibility for their own health and wellbeing, whilst treating those who become ill with care, compassion, empathy and skill.
As well as the main surgery, we have a small branch site at The Firs surgery in Colerne. GP services under a private contract are delivered by the practice to patients at MOD Corsham. The practice is a training practice for GP registrars and also teaches medical students, with two of the partners being GP trainers and GP appraisers. One of the partners was previously trained at this practice. Whilst striving to maintain a small practice feel, Box Surgery is one of five GP practices working collaboratively within the Chippenham, Corsham and Box (CCB) PCN (Primary Care Network) to offer extended services to a patient list size of approx. 60,000.
