Accountable GP

All GP practices are required by the NHS to allocate every patient (including children) a named, accountable GP.

Your named GP has overall responsibility for coordinating your care and ensuring the services you need are provided when required.

Every patient at our practice is assigned to one of our GP Partners. This does not affect your choice of GP. You can still book an appointment with any GP or clinician at the practice, depending on availability and your needs.

You do not need to wait to see your named GP to receive care.

Practices are asked to inform patients of their named GP at the first available interaction, so the GP or Nurse may advise you at your next appointment.

Veteran Registration

To help with your GP registration process, you can obtain 3 documents when leaving the armed forces that can help continue your healthcare without disadvantage. These are:

  • an NHS welcome letter that explains the process of transferring from military healthcare to an NHS GP surgery and civilian dentist, as well as information on what a GP can do to help you as a veteran
  • a form (FMED133A) that includes important details for your GP surgery, including a summary of medical treatments, vaccinations and specialist care received
  • a paper copy of your summary medical records, which contains more detailed information about the medical treatment you have received while in the armed forces

Please complete our online or paper registration form, and hand in a copy of the above documents at the time of registration. We ask that you please DO NOT hand in original documents.

You can complete the veteran section of the registration form, this will allow us to correctly code your medical records. There are a number of support services for both veterans and families, please ask a member of our team for more information if required.
