Named GP Policy

Accountable/Named GP for all Patients

The surgery provides all patients with a named GP who will have overall responsibility for the care and support that our surgery provides to them.

We need to divide our patients evenly between all our doctors, so they can manage their workload. Therefore, to do this fairly and impartially, we have selected patients by Practice Areas to match to a doctor.

We know that some patients will wish their named GP to be a particular doctor, but we would like to reassure patients that this system does not prevent you from seeing any GP in the practice as you currently do. Your named GP will not always be available.

You do not need to take any further action and will be informed of your named GP in due course. In the meantime, if you wish to be told the name of your accountable GP, please ask the receptionists when you are next in the surgery.
