A patient guide to GP services
It’s Your Practice: A patient guide to GP services has been compiled by The Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP).
The RCGP is a membership body of family doctors committed to delivering excellence in general practice and patient care, in the UK and overseas.
The guide provides helpful information on all aspects of using GP services: from finding and choosing a
practice and how to get the most out of a GP consultation to accessing health records and understanding
patients’ rights and responsibilities. The differences in GP services across the four nations of the UK are highlighted too.
Contributions to It’s Your Practice have been received from a number of healthcare professionals, leading
medical and health organisations and patient representatives
