Named GP

How does this affect you……..

All patients, including children new and existing are allocated a named, accountable GP who is responsible for their overall care at the practice. This is the GP that you are registered with.

You should be informed of your GP when you registered at the practice but you can also check who this is with any member of staff at any time and you may be given this information on you next attendance at the practice by the clinician.

We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate requests to change your accountable GP if you feel that this is necessary.

Patients are welcome to continue to see any of the doctors at the practice of their choice for appointments.
