Patient Need Groups

You may notice a test result appear in your NHS app referring to patient need groups or risk stratification.

This is a simple way in which we categorise patients based on their specific health needs.

It helps us as a practice to understand the individual needs of our patients based on their health and wellbeing to support personalised care and ensures you get the right support in a timely way.

No action is needed from you.
