Named GP
Patients registered at the Surgery have a named, accountable doctor who is responsible for coordinating their care. Your named GP will be allocated to you based on the branch surgery most local to your home address.
We will aim to book routine appointments with your named GP wherever possible to promote continuity of care however urgent appointments are managed by the on-call clinical team, so for same-day appointments, the clinician you see will depend on who is on duty that day.

Access to Health Records and Proxy Access
Medical records hold information about you. They are sometimes called health records.
Your GP medical record includes:
- past conditions
- allergies
- medication
- test results
- appointment notes and letters
You will have different records for other NHS services you’ve used, including hospitals, dentists and opticians. To access these records, you’ll need to contact the relevant service.
Using the NHS app or website
The NHS app is a quick way to access NHS services. Using the NHS app means you do not need to enter your personal details each time you contact the surgery. You can read more about the app on the NHS website.
You can view your GP medical record online using your NHS account.
You will need the NHS app or your NHS account login details.
Proxy Access
Proxy access allows someone other than the patient to access some of their GP’s online services.
Parents, family members or carers can use proxy access once they have been “linked” to the patient. Using proxy access you can usually book appointments and order prescriptions. You may also be able to access the patient’s medical records.
Please contact the surgery for further information on proxy access.
