About us
Mount Farm Surgery is a modern, efficient, and well-equipped GP surgery in the Moreton Hall area of Bury St. Edmunds. First established in Looms Lane in Bury St. Edmunds, we moved to the Moreton Hall Estate approximately thirty years ago, which was built on the original Moreton Hall farmland at the top of Mount Road (hence the name Mount Farm). The practice currently has just over 16,000 registered patients. Proactive and holistic care: We endeavour to offer proactive care to ensure the best of health for our patients. Often health issues are related to other aspects of a patients lifestyle, and we believe in helping patients improve their overall health and well-being, wherever possible taking the opportunity to prevent illness and not just treat it. We routinely check up on patients with long-term conditions to ensure we are providing effective care. We also run a series of clinics and patient workshops that provide valuable help and support to those dealing with long-term conditions such as asthma and diabetes.
