You and Your General Practice

You and Your General Practice is a national guide on what you can expect from your GP surgery. It also explains what you can do to get the best from the NHS

As part of the 2025/2026 GP contract changes, NHS England has introduced You and Your General Practice (YYGP), also referred to as the Patient Charter.

From 1st October 2025, all GP practices are required to provide patients with access to this information.
