You may request an appointment with a specific doctor, however this could mean you might have to wait longer for an appointment. All our clinicians within the practice are responsible for your care and have access to your complete medical records. They are therefore able to diagnose, treat and review new or ongoing medical conditions.
Named Accountable GP For All Our Patients
The government has asked all GP Practices to make their patients aware they have a Named Accountable GP. Here at the Grange Group Practice we have a pooled list. This means you are registered with the Practice as a whole and can see the GP of your choice.
You do however have a "Usual GP." This is the GP you are likely to see most often. If you wish to know who your "Usual GP" is, please ask us when you are next in the surgery.
