Zero Tolerance

In an attempt to protect staff and patients alike we operate a zero tolerance policy within the practice where rudeness and abusive behaviour are unacceptable. We are also looking to create a calm and pleasant environment for us all to enjoy.
You will be removed from the list should you be responsible for any form of abuse or violence that occurs to GPs, staff or other patients on our premises.

Freedom Of Information - Publication Scheme

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 obliges the practice to produce a Publication Scheme. A Publication Scheme is a guide to the ‘classes’ of information the practice intends to routinely make available. This scheme is available from reception.

Health Promotion

Would your body pass its MOT? Is there a family history of heart disease or strokes? If you are aged between 16 - 75 years of age and would like a health check-up and advice on healthy eating and exercise, please make an appointment with our nurse. We run clinics for those patients with asthma or diabetes and our aim is to educate, monitor and prevent complications of these diseases. Please see our practice nurse or make an appointment at reception.

Patient Forum

From time to time we will be reviewing aspects of our service and inviting you to join us in this exercise. We shall be holding informative and enjoyable sessions in the surgery where patients can come to ask questions and also provide valuable feedback for the service review.

Invitations will be sent to those patients to whom the service most applies eg diabetic patients to diabetic review.

Fees

Certain services provided are not covered by the NHS and you may be asked to pay a fee eg pre-employment medicals, insurance claims, private certificates, fitness to drive medicals and passport photos. Please ask at reception for further details.
