**About Us**:
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 our 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.

Our practice has 4 partner GPs leading an MDT of 5 permanent salaried GPs, an emergency care practitioner, an advanced nurse practitioner, 2 clinical pharmacists, a pharmacy technician, a team of 6 registered nurses and 3 HCAs 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.
