Registering with your GP and understanding your rights
This article explains more about your rights and what do to if you are refused the right to register.
Seeing your GP during the coronavirus pandemic
During the coronavirus pandemic GPs have had to adapt the way they run. Changes continue to happen as Government advice is updated over time. For the most up to date information please visit our Coronavirus page.
Interpreters (including British Sign Language) for GPs
If you don’t speak English, or if you use British Sign Language (BSL), you are entitled to an interpreter at no cost to you or the GP practice.
What to consider when choosing a GP
It is a good idea to find three local practices, and then choose between them. It is worth phoning up to check whether your address falls within an area covered by the practice.
Patient Participation Groups (PPGs)
Patient Participation Groups (PPGs) involve local people from a practice who want to take a more active role in working with their GP surgery.
