A huge new GP practice that already has 17,000 registered patients has opened its doors.
The new St James Medical Practice in King's Lynn comes after a nine-year campaign to upsize to cope with the patient list size increase within the coming years.
The surgery has moved from County Court Road to Edward Benefer Way into a building that will be able to handle the population growth, which expects the patient list to soon stand at 20,000.

The practice has been graded “Excellent” for energy efficiency and includes Photo Voltaic (PV) panels on the roof using the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method.
A spokesman for St James Medical Practice said: “We are delighted to be able to move into our new accommodation enabling the practice to provide improved services to our patients and handle the increased demand on our services.
"It’s a wonderful new building for us and we cannot wait to see what our patients think.”
