Patient need groups

They are a simple way of categorising patients based on their specific health needs. It helps us as a practice 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.

You may notice a ‘test result’ appear in your NHS app referring to your Johns Hopkins score. This is part of a national initiative designed to enhance our practice’s understanding of patient group needs. There is no cause for concern regarding this score. The system was developed by Johns Hopkins University, which is renowned for its contributions to advancing medical practices and healthcare systems globally.
