I am doing some research on accessibility to GP surgeries in South Norfolk and want to find a GIS data file with all the GP surgeries' locations on it that could be used in ArcMap.

Is there anywhere online I can find this? I have been looking for quite a while but cannot find anything.

    I don't know if such a georeferenced file would exist in a publicly available format (as you seem to be finding). You could try the regional Helath Boards. Failing that, if you could get a list of all the addresses for the surgeries, you could geocode (perhaps using the postcode) them and make your own.

  • last time I did this we scraped the DoH web site and geocoded using the PAF file.

  • I think geocoding will be the way to go, wanted to avoid that though as it can be so time consuming!

Try this link The information presented here provides details of the location of all 10,776 GP practices and branch surgeries in England, which were operating on April 2004. 97.9% of the data have been successfully geo-referenced. 230 (2.1%) surgeries were not geo-referenced, therefore will not appear as points in this dataset.
