About Us

 

The Hadleigh practice was established in 1906 when Dr J Norman came to Broadstone. He was joined by his two sons, Drs Dick and Bob Norman.

Dr J Norman was born in the village of Hadleigh in Suffolk and named his home in Broadstone 'Hadleigh House'. After several moves the practice finally stayed at No 20 Kirkway in 1979. In keeping with the tradition, our Corfe Mullen surgery (built in 1996) was named 'Hadleigh Lodge'.

The practice has grown steadily from single-handed to the present 9 partners, with a corresponding increase in employed and attached staff. Our approach is to combine traditional family care with modern health advances.

Research Trials

The Hadleigh Practice engages in some research studies that we think will be beneficial to our patients and the wider patient population. This is carefully managed to ensure patient consent and confidentiality.

Further information regarding our data management

The Hadleigh Practice also contributes to the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) – Supplying pseudonymised patient data supporting vital public health research.

Information in patient records is important for medical research to develop new treatments and test the safety of medicines. This practice supports medical research by sending some of the information from patient records to the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD).

CPRD data services from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency provide anonymised patient data for research to improve patient and public health. No information that can directly identify you is sent to the CPRD. Limited identifiable information relating to you (your NHS number, sex, date of birth and residence postcode) is sent directly to NHS England to enable data linkage.

If you do not want anonymised information from your patient record to be used in research you can opt out by speaking ro reception who will inform the management team.
