Named GP
From 1st April 2015, all practices are required to allocate a named accountable GP to all patients.
Our patients have, therefore, been assigned a named GP, you can be advised of this at your next contact with the practice.
This will not impact on your experience at the surgery, the provision of appointments at Chapel Street Surgery, your treatment or which GP you can see.
You may wonder why your allocated GP is not necessarily the one you see most regularly. Please be assured that you can still access all of our medical team in exactly the same way as before. Having been advised of your named accountable GP, should you have any concerns please raise at your next contact with the surgery.
