At our practice, we are committed to providing high-quality, patient-centred care — and continuity of care is a key part of this. We understand how important it is for patients to feel known, listened to, and supported by a clinician who understands their medical history and ongoing needs.
What Is Continuity of Care?
Continuity of care means seeing the same GP or clinician consistently over time, particularly for ongoing or long-term health concerns. It allows you to build a trusted relationship with a clinician who becomes familiar with your medical background, treatment plans, and personal circumstances.
While it may not always be possible to see the same clinician at every appointment, our aim is to offer continuity wherever we can — especially for patients who will benefit the most.
Who Benefits from Continuity?
Continuity of care can benefit a wide range of patients, including:
-
Those with long-term conditions such as diabetes, COPD, asthma or heart disease
-
Patients with complex medical needs who may require regular reviews or personalised care plans
-
Older adults, particularly those with multiple health conditions
-
Patients experiencing mental health challenges, where trust and understanding are especially important
-
Anyone who prefers to build an ongoing relationship with a clinician they feel comfortable with
Continuity can lead to better health outcomes, fewer emergency appointments, and a more positive patient experience.
Our Commitment
We are actively working on ways to improve continuity of care within the practice. This includes reviewing our appointment system, identifying patients who may benefit most, and supporting our clinical team to provide ongoing, tailored care.
If you feel continuity is important to your care, please let our reception team know when booking an appointment. While we may not always be able to offer your preferred clinician immediately, we will do our best to accommodate your request.
Your health and wellbeing are our priority, and continuity of care helps us provide the safe, effective and personal service you deserve.
