Changes to GP Access in North West London – Update

It was announced at the beginning of March that these plans have been postponed for a year.


Plans have been revealed to change GP access across North West London.

Patients wanting same day access to a GP will be referred to a central hub which will be overseen by a GP but will be staffed by care co-ordinators who will decide how to deal with their request.

Only if you have a “complex long-term condition” will you be given the option to consult with and see your doctor in the GP practice where you are registered.

Robin Sharp, Chair, Brent Patient Voice, and Deborah Unger, NWL PPG Forum Chair; who are both members of QPARA; have written a summary of and reaction to the proposals, titled: “Alarming proposals planned to restrict patients seeing their own GP“.
