About Us
Long Stratton is a small town in South Norfolk, 10 miles from the historic city of Norwich.  We have 11,500 patients on our list, a CQC rating of ‘Good’ and operate from both our main site and a branch site in Newton Flotman.  We are also a dispensing practice with a dispensing list of around 5,500 patients.  We use EMIS Web and run cloud-based telephony which links seamlessly with the clinical system and provides excellent functionality. 
 
We have completed our surgery expansion work with a new wing being added to include 7 clinical rooms. The reason for the expansion is that Long Stratton is being bypassed, 2,000 new homes are planned and therefore potentially 5,000-6,000 new patients will be joining us. 

We offer a comprehensive benefits package including 5 weeks annual leave pro-rata (plus bank holidays), the NHS pension scheme, and an Employer Assistance Programme for the employee and family members. We also offer free on-site car parking, team building and social activities and access to NHS discounts.
