Named GP for all Patients

From the 1st April 2015, all GP practices are required under the terms of the latest GP Contract to allocate all patients a named GP. This does not affect your treatment or care at the practice and you can continue to see any GP of your choice as normal.

You are unlikely to see any notable change in the way care is delivered to you by our practice.

We are a group practice where all GP’s have immediate access to your medical records (of previous patient consultations), please continue to book appointments with any available GP. Your named GP will not be available at all times and if your needs are urgent, you will need to discuss them with an alternative available doctor.

If you are unsure of who is your named Doctor please ask at Reception.

This notice applies to all patients at Sandy Lane Surgery, including children, patients over 75 years or any have already been informed of their own GP.
