All patients registered with Ouse Valley Practice have been allocated a named accountable GP.
From 1st April 2015 we are required by the Government, under the terms of the latest GP Contract, to allocate all patients a named accountable GP. This is purely an administrative exercise in order that patients can have a named responsible GP. This does not mean that they will be the only GP who will provide care to the patient. Patients are free to choose to see any GP in the Practice in line with current arrangements. If their preferred choice of GP is not available, an alternative will be offered.
The new contract requires the named accountable GP to be responsible for the co-ordination of all appropriate services required under the contract and ensure they are delivered to each patient where required. However, this does not mean that they will be the only GP or clinician who will provide care to that patient. These responsibilities will be carried out within the opening hours of the Practice and do not change the way you currently access care outside these hours.
The allocation has been done for all existing patients, and all newly registered patients will be given a named accountable GP on registration.
In order to facilitate this we have allocated the GPs to patients on a by surname basis as follows:
- Patients with a surname beginning with A – D : Dr Tiziana Camilleri
- Patients with a surname beginning with E – G : Dr Daisy Campion
- Patients with a surname beginning with H – J : Dr Chris Lander
- Patients with a surname beginning with K – O : Dr Katie Briggs
- Patients with a surname beginning with P – Q : Dr Jo Farrant
- Patients with a surname beginning with R – S : Dr Joe Hedgecock
- Patients with a surname beginning with T – Z : Dr Janet Hardingham
Please be aware that you may still see any GP of your choice at the surgery and do not have to see your named accountable GP, nor does this mean that you will only be offered appointments with your named GP.
If you have not already been informed of the name of your accountable GP, please ask the receptionist when you are next in the surgery.
