Own GP if required“ refers to the option of involving one’s personal General Practitioner (GP) in their healthcare decisions or treatments if necessary. This is particularly beneficial for individuals receiving care services, as it ensures continuity and a personalized approach to their health management.

Your GP, being familiar with your medical history and individual health needs, is often best placed to provide or oversee your care. They can collaborate with other healthcare professionals involved in your care to make informed decisions and provide optimal treatment plans. This can include prescribing medication, recommending specific therapies, or providing referrals to specialists.

The inclusion of your own GP, if required, underscores a person-centric approach to healthcare, respecting the patient’s familiarity and trust with their GP, and the value of the GP’s comprehensive understanding of the patient’s overall health status. This ensures holistic, consistent, and high-quality care, tailored to the individual’s specific needs.
