Named
Accountable GP
From
the 1st April 2015 all practices are required by NHS England to
allocate ALL patients a named accountable GP.
The
named accountable GP is responsible for the overall care of the patient.
You
should see no change in the day to day running of the practice or your care.
Having a named GP does not mean you can only see this GP. As a group practice
you can see the Doctor of your choice, except in an urgent situation when you
should see which ever GP is available.
If
you would like to know the name of your accountable GP, please ask as our
reception desk or the GP when you are next at the surgery.
