Named Accountable GP

We have been instructed by the Department of Health to allocate a Named Accountable GP for each patient on our practice list. This is mainly an administrative exercise and does not affect your choice to see a different GP. Your Named Accountable GP is the doctor to whom your care was allocated when you registered with the practice, the name will be shown on clinic letters and prescriptions. If you are still unsure which doctor is your Named Accountable GP please telephone the Reception Team and they will give you this information.
