Practice Boundary
Named accountable GP
All registered patients must have a named accountable GP.
The named GP is largely a role of oversight. It reassures patients they have one GP who is responsible for their care.
- Patients do not need to see their named GP when they book an appointment with the practice.
- Patients are entitled to choose to see any GP or nurse in the practice.
- The named GP works with relevant health and social care professionals to deliver a multi-disciplinary care package that meets the needs of the patient.
If your surname begins with A to I, your named GP will be Dr Chilamkurthi
If your surname begins with J to R, your named GP will be Dr Chakraborty
If your surname begins with S to Z, your named GP will be Dr Yadlapalli
If you have a preference for your named GP please let us know and we will make every effort to accommodate this request.
Temporary Registrations
If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one, you can receive emergency treatment from the local GP practice for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.
You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to three months. This will allow you to be on the local practice list and still remain a patient of your permanent GP. After three months you will have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with that practice.
To register as a temporary patient simply contact the local practice you wish to use. Practices do not have to accept you as a temporary patient although they do have an obligation to offer emergency treatment. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.
