In the NHS, a named accountable GP is responsible for overseeing patient care and ensuring that appropriate services are delivered. Key points include:
- All registered patients must have a named accountable GP, who coordinates care and ensures patients have access to necessary health checks.
- The named GP does not take on 24-hour responsibility for patients and is not the only clinician providing care.
- Patients can choose any GP or nurse in the practice, and the named GP will work with other health professionals to meet individual needs.
This structure aims to enhance continuity of care and ensure that patients have a dedicated GP for their health needs.
Please be aware that the majority of our clinicians work on a part time basis so may not be available every day. We will always work with you to arrange for you to see or speak to your preferred clinician and we will always try our best to manage the continuity of care for you.
