Welcome to Newmarket House Clinic

Introduction

Founded in 1996, Newmarket House, is an independent residential hospital dedicated solely to the treatment of eating disorders. It continues to be a dynamic, developing service, achieving the highest standards and recognition in this field. Newmarket House works closely with the NHS as a provider of a 'niche' resource to both local East Anglia Trusts and to purchasers in other parts of the country.

Newmarket House is a ten-bedded unit occupying a spacious Victorian house set in a large garden one mile from the centre of Norwich. The building is spacious, well appointed and maintained and retains the ambiance of a family home. 

We offer patients

  • a philosophy based upon a person-centred approach
  • a calm, optimistic environment within a climate of honesty and openness
  • safe and effective treatment for eating disorders
  • a programme designed to reinstate both physical and psychological well being
  • the opportunity to explore and rediscover their sense of identity
  • the chance to develop and practise living skills
  • close support for their families and carers
  • a respect for individual cultural and religious backgrounds
  • flexible discharge planning, to ensure continuing recovery

We believe that the comprehensive and seamless nature of the treatment we offer leads to a minimised risk of relapse, thus avoiding the 'revolving door syndrome' that is common in the treatment histories of those with severe eating disorders.

"We have monitored the performance of the organisation over the years, in this very difficult area of clinical work. We have been impressed by the outcomes achieved by Newmarket House and the sensitive, caring and planned approach to the individual packages of care developed. The organisation works well with partner organisations in returning service users back to the community ... The clinical input to the service users, in my experience, is excellent ... The approach used with the service users is to work in partnership with them to provide care at a pace that is in keeping with the individual and to ensure that independence and not dependence is core to the therapeutic programme". (Commissioner)

Newmarket House is committed to the principles of clinical governance, maintaining the highest standards of care and staff training. It is registered as a Private Voluntary Hospital with The Care Quality Commission.
