Named GP for all patients
From 1st April 2015 onwards Practices are
required, under the GMS contract, to allocate a
named accountable GP to all patients, including
children.
It is important that you are aware that this
is purely an administrative exercise and does
not change the way in which we operate or affect
your ability to make an appointment or speak
with any of the GPs in the practice.
We have now allocated all patients to a named
GP. New patients registering from 1st
April 2015 onwards will be allocated within 21
days of registration.
If you were registered with us before 1st
April 2015 and were aged over 75 or took part in
the Unplanned Emergency Admissions service
provision you will have already been allocated a
named accountable GP and notified in writing –
this named GP will remain the same and will not
change.
Should you express a wish to change your
named GP we will do our best to accommodate your
wishes. Please write to the Practice Manager
requesting the change.
It is the Practices responsibility to notify
you by 31st June 2016 of your named accountable
GP. Initially we will attempt to do this on an
opportunistic basis during your next visit or
call to the Practice and we will record that you
have been notified. If by early May 2016 we have
not informed you, we will text, email or write
to you.
