Named accountable GP for all patients

From 1 April 2015, practices are required under the contract to allocate a named, accountable GP to all patients (including children) who is responsible for patients’ overall care at the practice, patients should contact the practice if they wish to know who this is, and that if they have a preference as to which GP that is, the practice will make reasonable efforts to accommodate this request.

The named accountable GP will take lead responsibility for the coordination of all services required under the contract and ensure they are delivered to each of their patients where required (based on the clinical judgment of the named accountable GP).
