Mr David Spokes

I graduated from the University of Leeds with Honours degrees in Pharmacology and Medicine and after gaining experience in a wide range of medical specialties in Yorkshire, London and Australia I specialised in ophthalmology. My ophthalmology training was undertaken in Worcestershire and Yorkshire during which time I completed the training programme of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists. I gained specialist recognition in 2011 before moving to Perth, Australia to undertake a year-long fellowship in anterior segment surgery at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital under Professor Graham Barrett. On returning to the UK I completed a further year of fellowship in cornea and external eye disorders at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London. I took up my consultant post in 2014 at Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital and have a varied ophthalmic practice caring for patients with cataract, corneal and ocular surface problems, medical retina conditions and glaucoma. I am currently College Tutor for ophthalmology at NNUH and am heavily involved in teaching and training the ophthalmologists of the future. It is very important to me that I always strive to provide the best possible service. This is why there are a number of key features of my practice: • I will see you personally at all consultations. • You will be seen quickly and offered any treatment necessary with minimal waiting. • Consultations are in Norwich and Cromer. • I use a carefully selected range of the most advanced lens implants from leading brands including Alcon and Johnson & Johnson. • I will be happy to discuss any concerns you may have before or after treatment.

"Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions."
