Named Accountable GP
From 1st April 2015 onwards Practices are required, under the GMS contract, to allocate a named accountable GP to all patients, including children. It is important that you are aware that this is purely an administrative exercise and does not change the way in which we operate or affect your ability to make an appointment with any of the GPs in the practice. We have now allocated all patients to a named GP and all new patients registering will be allocated within 21 days of registration.
If you were registered with us before 1st April 2015 and were aged over 75 or are taking part in the Unplanned Emergency Admissions service provision, where you were allocated a care plan coordinator, you will have already been allocated a named accountable GP and notified in writing – this named GP will remain the same and will not change.
Should you express a wish to change your named GP we will do our best to accommodate your wishes, but this cannot be guaranteed due to the different workload of our GPs who work full time and part time. Please write to the Practice Manager with your request.
Chaperone Policy
Dr Pilpel & Partners is committed to providing a safe, comfortable environment where patients and staff can be confident that best practice is being followed at all times and the safety of everyone is of paramount importance.

NHS Constitution
The NHS belongs to the people. It is there to improve our health and well-being, supporting us to keep mentally and physically well, to get better when we are ill and, when we cannot fully recover, to stay as well as we can to the end of our lives. It works at the limits of science – bringing the highest levels of human knowledge and skill to save lives and improve health. It touches our lives at times of basic human need, when care and compassion are what matter most.
Please download the NHS Constitution Leaflet for more information
Parking
Please remember that parking spaces can be limited and the doctors need access at ALL times.
We would ask that consideration is paid to our neighbours and that you DO NOT obstruct the driveways to their homes. The Tean surgery has a large car park at the bottom of Old Road and we respectfully request that this is your car park of choice allowing more parking for patients with limited mobility.
There is a large car park adjacent to the Blythe Bridge Primary Care Centre.
Urgent Cases
We are very proud of our full diagnostic and treatment facilities at our Surgeries therefore we are generally reluctant to offer “second best” medicine by trying to diagnose and treat you in your home. If your problem is urgent we always fit you in, bypassing the waiting room if necessary.
Disabled Patients
The Surgery is fully equipped for disabled access, including toilet facilities.
