I joined Chet Valley Medical Practice in October 2015 after completing my GP training in Norfolk. I studied biomechanical science and pharmacology before completing my medical training at the UEA. I enjoy all aspects of General Practice and teach haematology and cardiology to medical students.
Outside of work my wife and I enjoy walking and canoeing around the Norfolk broads and coastline. Our two daughters keep us busy, but if there is spare time I enjoy carpentry and DIY projects.

Dr Richard Draeger – Male, BSc (Hons), PGCE, PhD, MBBS, MRCGP, Hon Senior Lecturer (Norwich Medical School)
I qualified as a GP in 2018 having spent much of my life as a perpetual student gaining qualifications of various types. Initially, I took a degree in applied genetics followed by a PGCE in secondary science and a PhD at the John Innes Centre in Norwich. My medical training was completed at the U.E.A.
As a result of my educational background it will be no surprise that I have an interest in teaching medical students and post graduate students alike. In my spare time I can usually be found doing something practical like DIY, with a never ending list of projects or spending time with my wife and children. -

I was bought up in South Norfolk from a young age and attended Norwich High School. I trained in medicine as a mature student studying at UEA with post-graduate training at Norfolk and Norwich and James Paget Hospitals. Following completion of my general practice training I went on to complete a post graduate diploma in Palliative Medicine working for the Specialist Palliative Care team at JPUH.
My interests out of work include skiing, walking the dog and spending time with family and friends.

I studied Medicine at the UEA in Norwich and completed my GP training locally.

I have a young family, so outside of work life is very busy! We particularly enjoy trips to the coast at weekends.
