Named GP

In line with NHS recommended best practice, all patients will be allocated a named accountable GP to help deliver more personalised coordinated care.

This will not affect which GP you choose to see, and patients can request an appointment with any of the three GP’s when available. For more information please ask a member of our reception team.

Are you over 75?

All patients over 75 are required to have a named doctor who will have overall responsibility for the care and support that Fishermead Medical Centre provides them. Most patients are already aware of their named doctor, if you are unsure, please ask a member of staff. If your named doctor is not the doctor you usually prefer to see, this is not a problem, you may continue to see the doctor of your choice.
