At Long Stratton Medical Partnership, we take pride in being a family focused, close knit team – our ‘work family’ is how we often describe ourselves. We offer a supportive, positive culture which is well-lead, and provide regular supervision and training for all staff.

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 SystmOne 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.

Our Practice has 5 Partner GPs leading an MDT of 3 permanent salaried GPs, an emergency care practitioner, an advanced nurse practitioner, 2 clinical pharmacists, a pharmacy technician, a team of registered nurses, 3 HCAs & a phlebotomist plus superb teams in reception, administration, and dispensary, along with the surgery management team. 

We offer a comprehensive benefits package including 5 weeks annual leave (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.

We are innovative, forward-thinking and embrace change.  If you are interested in joining us, then we would be very pleased to hear from you and welcome your application.  Please contact Keith Burnett if you would like any further information.
