Named GP

Understanding Your Named GP

Due to national contractual requirements, all patients registered with Highfield surgery must be allocated a named GP. This is an administrative process to ensure everyone has an accountable doctor on record.

What This Means for You

Continuity of Care: We strongly encourage you to try and see the same doctor for ongoing health issues to help build a relationship and ensure consistent care.
Automated Allocation: With thousands of patients, your named GP is assigned through an automated system. This means while you have a named GP on paper, you may regularly see a different doctor in practice.
Your Choice is Paramount: Please be reassured that having a named GP does not commit you to seeing only that particular doctor. You remain free to book appointments with any available GP at the surgery.

When to Consider Your Named GP

New Patients or No Regular Doctor: If you are new to the practice, or if you do not currently have a regular doctor you usually see, your named GP can be a good starting point when booking routine, pre-planned appointments.
Same-Day Access: For urgent, same-day appointments, the priority is getting you access to a clinician quickly, so continuity with a specific doctor may not always be possible.

Finding Out Who Your Named GP Is

If you do not know who your named GP is and wish to find out, please contact the practice.
