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.

Keivan obtained his first MD degree from POTE with Summa Cum Laude and immediately started specialization in Internal Medicine and passed the United States Medical Licensing Examination but decided to work in some very deprived areas of our planet.  He then returned to Europe and obtained the second MD degree from the UVA following which he trained in Family Medicine specialization at the VU in Amsterdam.

In 2005 Keivan was recruited by the PCT Great Yarmouth and moved from Amsterdam to Gorleston where he practiced as a Principal GP until joining our surgery in April 2017.

Since 2006 he as also been teaching medical students of the UEA.

Since moving to the UK he has obtained a postgraduate diploma in Clinical Dermatology from the Queen Mary University of London and a postgraduate Diploma in Diabetes with merit from Cardiff University and also has obtained the MRCGP.

Keivan's mother language is Azerbaijani but he feels lucky that so far he has had the chance to learn seven different languages.

Outside work he enjoys reading, learning and travelling whenever it is possible but has regular meeting with his punchbag!

The Practice nurses run clinics for long-term health conditions such as asthma or diabetes. They manage minor ailment clinics, carry out cervical smears and run vaccination clinics.
