Could you be deleted from our patient list without even knowing? Right now > yes.

NHS England is "cleansing" GP lists (all GP practices in England) to remove "ghost" patients. But it's catching real ones too. Ignore one official letter, and after three months you can be struck off - no warning.

The people most at risk are the ones least likely to notice: older patients, anyone who finds letters hard, anyone who bins them as junk.

So, from all of us here - don't be a ghost:

✅ Tell us when you move
✅ Never ignore an NHS or PCSE letter - reply to it
✅ Check on elderly relatives who might not

Not sure you're still registered? Check the NHS App first - and please keep our phone lines free where you can.

👻 Watch the video - and please share it. The person it helps might be someone you care about.

If you feel your child has ADHD/ASD there is now a pathway to follow rather than seeing / contacting your GP for a referral. We do have Child and Young Persons mental health clinicians working with the surgery but they do not see any patients until this pathway has been followed.

Please see the attached leaflet and below websites. Once completed, please contact us to discuss next steps: www.adhdnorthwest.org.uk/contact-us www.springnorth.org.uk/projects/neu-way-support/
