Practice Charter

The practice endeavours to maintain a certain level of standard for all patients which is reflected in our Practice Charter.

Your Commitment To Us

  • The healthcare team members have only your best interests at heart. If staff are busy, please be patient and treat each member with courtesy and respect.
  • If you require a home visit, please telephone the surgery before 10.00am if possible.
  • If you are unclear or unsure about what the doctor or clinician has said, please ask. We want you to understand and feel confident about your treatment.
  • The healthcare team members are keen to promote healthy lifestyles and avoid illness. If the doctor or nurse offers health promotional advice, please take it.
  • If you are unable to keep, or no longer require, an appointment, please call the surgery as soon as possible so that we can offer the consultation to another patient.
  • Please let us know if you change your name, address or telephone number.
  • If you have any suggestions which might help us to improve our service to you or to others, please speak to a member of the healthcare team or leave your suggestion in the box provided.

Our Commitment To You

  • The doctors and staff will attempt to provide the highest possible standard of medical care for you at all times.
  • All members of staff will treat you at all times with courtesy and respect.
  • If you are too ill to attend surgery a visit may be made to your home, subject to clinical need.
  • When you attend the surgery we will endeavour to ensure that you are seen promptly. If this is not possible, an explanation of the delay will be given.
  • We will endeavour to make a non-urgent appointment to see the doctor of your choice within five working days (subject to the availability of that doctor).
  • Should you need to consult a doctor or nurse urgently, we will endeavour for you to be seen the same day. We can also arrange for you to see a doctor at our Local Access Centre.
  • Confidentiality of your medical records will be strictly maintained at all times.
  • All members of the healthcare team (doctors, nurses, receptionists, managers) will continue to undertake training which is relevant to providing you with the best possible healthcare services.

Freedom of Information Act

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 make routinely available. Information on this scheme is available from reception.
