CORONAVIRUS - More information can be found (right hand column; COVID-19 Information)


We understand that with the announcement of a new lockdown there are going to be a number of patients concerned about the situation, especially those in very vulnerable risk groups and also those with children attending educational settings. The current government advice about high risk groups is available here: https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus


Further publication is due Monday and the Government will be writing affected patients. The current guidance for protecting extremely clinically vulnerable groups is available here and is a useful link to send to patients. The GP’s at the surgery have no additional information about and beyond this and are unable to help with requests for sick notes or other letters in such circumstances.


For people concerned about children attending educational settings; we understand and sympathise with the concerns around children attending school at this time, especially if a household has extremely vulnerable members. As a Practice we are very sorry, but the decisions about children attending school are not ours to make. It’s not something that we can help with. We would suggest a discussion between the people involved and the school to decide the best course of action.

COVID-19 Vaccine: The NHS will get in touch when it’s your turn to be vaccinated – please do not contact the Surgery before then

The first phase of the NHS COVID-19 vaccination programme has begun. However, initially the vaccination will be prioritised for those over 80, care home workers and residents, and frontline health and care staff. These vaccinations will be delivered through a limited number of Hospital and GP Hubs. See this leaflet explaining who was chosen for the first group and why.

If you are in a priority group, when it is the right time, you will receive an invitation to come forward for your vaccination.  For most people this will be a letter (some might receive a text from their GP practice), either from the practice or the national NHS. This letter will include all the information you will need to book appointments, including your NHS number. 

This is going to be a long-term programme and it will likely take until at least Spring before all high-risk groups have been offered a COVID-19 vaccine.

Please help us and do not contact the practice or other NHS services to get an appointment for a COVID vaccination until you get this letter.   Please also continue to follow the national guidance to control the virus and save lives. 

Information on the vaccine is available on www.selondonccg.nhs.uk/what-we-do/covid-19/

Wallace Street Surgery

Welcome to The Burney Street Practice

The Burney Street practice was established over 25 years ago to serve the medical needs of the surrounding residential area. At that time the Burney Street practice was served by just one doctor.

Since then the Burney Street practice has grown to a patient list size of over 17,000 patients. To accommodate this growth our team has steadily grown to now incorporate 9 permanent GP's (3 male & 7 female), 2 practice nurses, and 2 phlebotomist and a comprehensive team of Receptionists and Administrative Staff.

Greenwich Street SurgeryThe Burney Street practice continues to serve the local Greenwich area, but with the addition of our Branch Surgery at The Wallace Health Centre we have widened our area to incorporate the new developments in and around the Creek Side area of Deptford.

Both surgeries offer identical clinics with many of our clinicians working from both sites. At the current time we can only accept new patients who live within close proximity to the surgery. Please call in or telephone our receptionists who will be able to advise you on the relevant area.
