NHS England has developed a ‘Patient Charter’ called “You and Your General Practice. This guide is designed to help patients understand what to expect when accessing GP services and how to make the most of the support available from the GP team.

“The You and Your General Practice charter sets out what patients can expect from their GP practice — for example, being supported in a variety of ways, such as through reasonable adjustments. It also explains what GP practices expect from patients, including attending appointments on time, treating staff with respect, and cancelling appointments in advance if they are no longer needed
