Abstrakt: If the named GP is not the GP with whom the patient has (or is expected to have) a continuing therapeutic relationship, the SLICC and OPR are not very meaningful, for example, if practices did not keep this field up-to-date after a change in GP. Currently, in some practices, the requirement for a named GP is seen as an administrative formality and patients are not encouraged to see their named GP,[20] nor does the GP take long-term responsibility for the patient. The Select Committee published results showing both good (>50% SLICC) and excellent GP continuity (>75% SLICC).[21] CONCLUSION Measuring GP continuity in all English general practices is now proposed. SLICC The SLICC is the percentage of all patient GP consultations that are with their named/registered/personal/list-holding GP.[11] It is a simple percentage and is quickly understood by GPs and staff.
