From April 2014 it became a requirement for all patients aged 75 named GP who will have overall responsibility for the care and support that our surgery provides to them.
If you are one of our patients in this age group you will have already been given a named GP who has overall responsibility for the care and support that our surgery provides to you, this does not mean you can only see your named GP you can see any GP of your choice in the Practice. The GP will also work with other relevant health and care professionals who are involved in your care to ensure that your care package meets your individual needs.
All patients have been notified of their named GP and offered an over 75 health check, if you receive a letter please ensure you book an appointment for your health check with the Health Care Assistant at the Practice, it is also important that you have these checks annually and your medication reviewed. We continue to contact all patients that become 75 with a named GP and an offer of a health check. If you have any questions or you have not received your letter please contact the surgery on 02476 382554
