About Us
Rated as "Good" by the Care Quality Commission, we are a long-established doctors' practice in Suffolk.
Welcome to Ivry Street Medical Practice
Our objective is to provide our patients with comprehensive access to personalised primary healthcare services that are above all, safe, and effective.
We accomplish this by aiming to develop relationships of mutual trust, honesty, and respect.
We ask that you help us in return by taking responsibility for your own health and wellbeing where you are able, and by using NHS services appropriately.

Read information about some of the key metrics on our performance. These are things that we monitor regularly to make sure that our service to you is improving.
Practice Information
A Learning Organisation
Learning is part of everything we do. It is how we continuously improve, and it’s how we develop the next generation of healthcare professionals.
We work with local universities, Heath Education England, and the GP Training Scheme deanery to offer placements at our practice. You may encounter GP Trainees, student Physician Associates, student nurses, and others from time to time. Find out more about trainees and students.
Veteran Friendly Practice
As a Veteran Friendly GP Practice we:
- Have a clinical lead for veteran health, Dr Doig, who is supported by the whole Practice to improve veteran health services.
- Ask patients ‘Have you served in the Armed Forces?’ to help identify veteran patients
- Support veteran patients to access dedicated health services
- Undertake regular training and development to meet the health commitments of the Armed Forces Covenant and better understand the needs of veteran patients
- If you are a veteran patient, please let us know that you have served so that we can make sure that we understand your health needs.
More than 1,400 practices are now veteran friendly accredited and a University of Chester study revealed that 99% of accredited practices would recommend the accreditation.

The Veteran Friendly Practices accreditation scheme is run by the Royal College of General Practitioners in partnership with NHS England.
Patient Participation Group (PPG)
Our surgery is proud to have an active Patient Participation Group where patients can voice their suggestions and concerns about our surgeries services.
Meet our Team
Our clinical team includes 8 GPs, 1 Physician Assistant, 1 Pharmacist, 1 Nurse Practitioner, 5 Practice Nurses, Healthcare Assistants, and 1 Phlebotomist.
We also have a team of receptionists who provide an important link for patients with the practice and are your initial contact point for general enquiries. They can provide basic information on services and results and direct you to the right person depending on your health issue or query. Receptionists make most of the patient appointments with the GPs and nurses.
