As a practice we have had issues with requests for participating in shared care and prescribing with private healthcare providers. These issues have included requests for tests or monitoring which may not be clinically appropriate or consistent with national NHS clinical guidance. Therefore, for patients’ safety, we have decided, with effect from September 2023, that we will not routinely participate in shared care and prescribing with private healthcare providers.
For further information or clarification, please discuss this with your usual General Practitioner.
