As part of the commitment to more personalised care for patients, NHS Employers and the General Practitioners Committee of the British Medical Association have agreed that all patients will have a named accountable GP

The Named GP will:

• Take lead responsibility for ensuring that all appropriate services required under the contract with the practice are delivered to you
• Where required, based on the professional judgement of the ‘named’ GP, work with relevant associated health and social care professionals to deliver a multidisciplinary care package that meets your needs.
• Ensure that your physical and psychological needs are recognised and responded to by the relevant clinicians in the practice
• Ensure that patients over 75 years of age have access to a health check if requested, which is already a requirement of the GP contract regulations.
