Every patient is allocated a 'Named GP'. If you have repeat medication your repeat prescription slip will show your GP. We aim to ensure that any letters that you receive from the practice indicate your GP. All new patients and those over 75 will have been contacted to inform them of their named GP.
Any patients that do not know their GP are welcome to ask at reception when visiting or telephoning the practice
