Our practice is in the suburbs of Norwich about 15 minutes from the centre and the practice area extends out into the country.  At times you may be lucky enough to get home for lunch.

We are a friendly enthusiastic practice with teaching and training a very important part of our every day practice from all staff.  We enjoy having several trainees at a time and find this very beneficial to everyone's learning.  We are also a teaching practice for Norwich Medical School and currently teach year 5.  We encourage our trainees to become involved in helping with teaching, which is very enjoyable.  Over the past few years, we have put education very strongly at the forefront of the practice ethos.  The IT uses SystemOne.

We have lively business and clinical meeting which we strongly recommend our trainees attend, as these give a valuable insight into running a practice and give trainees an idea of how partnership operates.  We also discuss and keenly debate the recent guidelines and the implication on our practice.

We have a strong Gold Standards Framework pathway for end of life care, with regular monthly meetings and our trainees have found great benefit from attending these and getting involved in palliative care.

We have very good feedback from our trainees, and will try our best to help you get the most from your training.

We have a diverse group of friendly, professional and administrative staff working very closely together as a team.  We all meet frequently on an informal basis, and also have more formal regular meetings throughout the practice to discuss relevant issues and plan surgery policy.  The partners meet regularly and enjoy an excellent and mutually supportive working relationship.  We feel good communication at all levels within the practice is vital, as it enhances the quality of patient care, efficiency and the satisfaction we derive from our work.

As a practice we have always tried to take advantage of changes in the Health Service for the benefit of our patients.  As we are 18 miles from the nearest hospital we try to be as self-sufficient as possible by providing many services within the surgery.

Our registrars have their own room with access to our clinical system, SystmOne.  They have two tutorials a week, one on an individual basis with one of our trainers and the other is a joint tutorial, which is shared between us and Stalham Green & Ludham Surgery.
