As we get older, accessing GP practices often becomes a more prominent part of our lives, and can play an important role in helping us to stay healthy and independent. In recent years, the way that services are delivered by GP practices has changed a great deal, and older people sometimes face difficulties when trying to access what they need.
That’s why the Commissioner has published this helpful guide, which provides information on:
- What you can expect from your GP practice
- Your rights
- What to do if you are experiencing difficulties
The guide also provides details and contact information for organisations that can provide help and support if you are finding it difficult to access your GP practice, or the services available, or if you are concerned your rights are not being upheld.
