The NHS contract for GP practices organises services into three categories.
- Essential Services which every practice must provide.
- Enhanced Services which a practice can choose to provide. The majority of GP practices provide all the enhanced services.
- Optional Services which a practice can choose to provide. Where a practice opts-out of providing these services, NHS England must ensure that patients can access an alternative locally.
The practice runs a number of specific clinics to support its delivery of the services that it is providing. The following sections give details of all the NHS contract services and whether we have chosen to provide them or not. There is also a section about the clinics we run in the practice.
