Allocated Named GP – Patients Aged Under 75
From April 2015 we are required by our NHS contract to allocate a named GP to all of our patients. Please see the list below giving information of your named GP, if you are unsure please check with one of our reception staff.
| SURNAME | ALLOCATED GP |
| A - E | Dr A D Mellor |
| F - K | Dr H J Smith |
| L - S | Dr A Santiago Martin |
| T - Z | Dr C Hollis |
A named GP has been allocated according to surname and this GP will be responsible for the co-ordination of all appropriate services and ensure these services are delivered when required.
This will not affect you seeing the GP of your choice; you can continue to book appointments with any one of our Doctors. If you require any further information please ask at reception.
