I joined Old Mill and Millgates as a partner in 2014 after spending one year at the surgery as a registrar. Norfolk has been my home for over five years now and living in Norwich puts me in the centre of a fun and bustling city. I have an international background and hopefully my experiences living, studying and working abroad help me deliver an open minded yet focused consultation with my patients. I enjoy working with patients to achieve their desired outcomes as well as educating them along their journey. You may also find me educating future doctors at the surgery as we participate in teaching 3rd year medical students from the UEA. I enjoy scuba diving, cycling, watching NFL and traveling to just about anywhere.

Neil Thomas joined the practice as a partner in 2015 after spending the previous year at Old Mill and Millgates as a registrar in the final year of his training. Growing up in Suffolk, he never made it out of East Anglia, graduating from the University of East Anglia in 2010 and spending the next 5 years working in hospitals in Norfolk and Suffolk as part of his Foundation years and GPVTS training. He takes part in the practice’s relatively new venture of medical student training and has recently completed his PGCE.

Neil lives in Mulbarton with his wife Katherine, a primary school teacher, and their cats. When not at work (or on the allotment or travelling the world with Katherine) Neil can often be found playing the guitar with his rock and pop covers band in and around Norfolk.

Nursing Lead

The nurse practitioner is here for people of any age with minor or major, acute, physical or psychological health needs. They are able to diagnose and treat many illnesses and injuries, prescribe medications where appropriate or offer advice and support as required.

Please continue to see your doctor or practice nurse for any on-going management of your chronic conditions. If you aren’t sure if our nurse practitioner can deal with your problem, come and see her anyway, as she may be able to help, or at least guide you to the most appropriate healthcare.

Definition of acute illness/injury – new onset, likely short duration of symptoms or need for intervention.

Definition of chronic illness – gradual onset long lasting conditions.

Practice nurses are qualified and registered nurses. They can help with health issues such as family planning, healthy living advice, blood pressure checks and dressings. The practice nurses run clinics for long-term health conditions such as asthma or diabetes, minor ailment clinics and carry out cervical smears.

Ian is our Practice Paramedic.  He helps with home visits and sees acute minor illness.

Healthcare assistants support practice nurses with their daily work and carry out tasks such as phlebotomy (drawing blood), blood pressure measurement and new patient checks. They may act as a chaperone when a patient or doctor requests one.

Our very experienced phlebotomists take bloods on behalf of the partners for the practice.
