Patient need groups (PNGs) – John Hopkins adjusted clinical groups system score

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.
