About us

We are a rural dispensing and training practice located in the village of Stanton, set in the beautiful Suffolk countryside close to Bury St Edmunds. We serve a stable population of approx. 5300 patients.

We are a 2 partner GMS practice offering a supportive happy environment, and were recently approved as a GP training practice. We already have our first two GP trainees working alongside us, and in the future we aim to host nursing students also. We offer traditional general practice offering currently diabetes care, LARC and minor surgery as additional personal interests.

We work in modern purpose built premises, which have recently been extended and provide a bright and airy setting in which to work. We are forward thinking, and always looking for new ways to do things to ensure we provide the best possible care for our patients. We recently changed our dispensary software, and are the second dispensing practice in the country to utilise this software, which is normally used in pharmacies.

We are rated GOOD across all areas by CQC.

If you are looking for a new challenge do come and see us. We actively encourage informal visits, to meet our friendly team. To arrange a visit, or for further information please contact:sian.stribling@nhs.net
