What does this mean?
When you register with our practice, you will be allocated a named GP.
- This GP is accountable for your care and will oversee your treatment.
- Having a named GP supports continuity of care, helping you build a stronger relationship with your doctor.
Seeing your GP
- We encourage you to book appointments with your named GP whenever possible.
- Sometimes your named GP may not be available.
- In these cases, we will explain why and offer you an appointment with another suitable clinician in the practice team.
Can I change my named GP?
- ✅ Yes — if you are not happy with your allocated GP, you can request a change.
- We will do our best to accommodate your request.
Important to know
- Having a named GP does not restrict you to only seeing that doctor.
- You are free to see any GP or clinician in the practice depending on your needs.
- This is a requirement under the NHS GP Contract (2015 onwards), ensuring every patient has a doctor responsible for their overall care.
✨ Your named GP is here to coordinate your care — but our whole team is here for you.
