Vida Healthcare is a traditional GP Partnership established for over 60 years in Kings Lynn. Instead of being โ€˜Dr X and Partnersโ€™ we call ourselves by the more modern name of Vida Healthcare (Vida being Spanish for โ€˜Lifeโ€™). We are the largest GP Practice in Norfolk with a responsibility for caring for almost 35,400 patients. We have three Surgeries in Kings Lynn (22000 patients) one in Downham Market (2600 patients), another at Dersingham (6000 patients) and one in Hunstanton (4800 patients) We are the only Practice in Norfolk to hold the Quality Practice Award accredited by the Royal College of General Practitioners. We have a team of 18 doctors, about 25 nurses and about 50 support staff. Several of our nurses have prescribing rights and they provide acute and chronic care. Several of them are very specialized and they run the chronic care clinics. Other nurses provide a treatment room service and clinical nursing assistants offer phlebotomy and other tests. District nurses are based at all 3 Centres and others e.g. midwife and dietician visit regularly. We have a dispensary at our Dersingham surgery.
