Named GP

All patients registered with Woosehill Medical Centre have a named, accountable GP. This is a requirement of the NHS GP Contract and helps to make sure your care is well coordinated.

What this means for you

  • Every patient (including children) has a named GP recorded in their notes.
  • Your named GP is responsible for overseeing your care, but your care is provided by the whole practice team.
  • You can continue to see any of our GPs or nurses – you are not restricted to your named GP.
  • Your named GP is not available 24 hours a day. Out-of-hours services are provided by NHS 111 and other local providers.

Can I choose my named GP?

Yes. If you have a preference for a particular GP, please let our reception team know. We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate your request.

How can I find out who my named GP is?

You can:

  • Ask at reception
  • Check during your next appointment
  • Contact us via our online request forms

Patients aged 75 and over

Patients aged 75+ also have a named GP who will:

  • Work with community and social care services to coordinate care
  • Ensure access to an annual health check
  • Help plan ongoing support for long-term conditions
