Right to Choose & Shared Care

Right to Choose & Shared Care Agreements

In many cases you have the legal right to choose where you have your NHS treatment. The NHS is offering more and more options to enable you to make choices that best suit your circumstances, giving you greater control of your care, and hopefully better results. East Barnwell Health Centre has a legal duty to support your legal right to choose and will continue to do so.

However, East Barnwell Health Centre will not be accepting any future shared care agreement requests, with the exception of those patients that are already in the right to choose process or requests that are received from NHS institutions.

This means that your provider will be responsible for your annual reviews and any medications until such time that you are seen within the NHS provision.
