DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE A NAMED GP?

All patients have a named GP who has overall responsibility for the care and support that our surgery provides to you. This does not prevent you from seeing any GP in the practice as you currently do.

If you wish to know who is your own named GP, please contact us or enquire next time you visit the surgery.
