Newmarket House Clinic was founded in 1996 as an independent residential clinic dedicated solely to the treatment of eating disorders.   It continues to be a dynamic, developing service, striving to achieve the highest standards and recognition in this field.

The Clinic is a sixteen-bedded unit occupying two spacious Victorian family houses set in large gardens one mile from the centre of Norwich.   The original building, Baskerville House, houses the acute stage of treatment.   In 2002 the Clinic acquired the adjacent building, Chesham House, in which the second, rehabilitation, stage of treatment takes place. Both buildings are spacious, well appointed and maintained and retain the ambiance of family houses.

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
• 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
• supportive aftercare
• flexible discharge planning, to ensure continuing recovery

We believe that the comprehensive and seamless nature of the programme 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.

Newmarket House Clinic is committed to the principles of clinical governance, maintaining the highest standards of care and staff training.   Baskerville House is registered as a Private Voluntary Hospital with The Healthcare Commission and Chesham House is registered as a Care Home with The Commission for Social Care Inspection
