Local practical context

Norwich has rail to London Liverpool Street (1h50) and Cambridge (1h20). The city is smaller than other NHS hubs so commutes are generally short, but car access can matter for community roles covering rural Norfolk.

Housing is more affordable than most of the South East. The semi-rural setting suits staff looking for lower living costs while still working in a teaching hospital environment.
