So long and thanks for everything.

Goodbye Mary.

This week the practice said goodbye to Mary who has been our Healthcare assistant for the last 7 years. She decided that she was ready to retire and has been gradually adjusting, finding time to travel, garden and spend more time with her family. Before leaving Mary helped to train Vanessa, who has shadowed her for the last three months and will be taking over her clinics.

Named GP

From the 1st of April 2015, all practices are required under the terms of the latest GP contract to allocate patients a named accountable GP.

This is purely an administrative exercise in order that patients can have a named responsible GP should they require them.

For convenience your named accountable GP will be the named doctor you are registered with. 

• Your accountable GP will be the one named on your NHS card.
• If you wish to be told the name of your accountable GP, please ask the receptionists when you are next in the surgery. Please try not to telephone us for this information.
• If you have Patient Access you can see your named GP when you log in. 

Having a named GP does not prevent you seeing any other doctor in the practice. Your named GP will not be available at all times and if your needs are urgent, you may need to discuss them with an alternative doctor.
