Named GP
As of April 2015, under NHS GP contract, practices were required to allocate a named, accountable GP to all patients (including children). This follows on from changes in 2014 when all patients aged 75 and over were to be provided with a named GP.
Informing patients of their ‘named GP’
If you have a repeat prescription your ‘named GP’ will be the GP whose name is on the prescription.
All new patients registering with the practice will be advised of their ‘named GP’ on registration.
The practice uses various methods of communication to advise its patients of who their ‘named GP’ is.
Are You Over 75?
As of April 2014 all patients over 75 were required to have a named, accountable GP who will have overall responsibility for your care and support. Most patients are already aware of their ‘named GP’, if you are unsure please ask a member of staff. If your ‘named GP’ is not the GP you usually prefer to see, this is not a problem, you may continue to see the GP of your choice.
