Information
Temporary
Residents
If you have someone visiting you who needs to see a doctor urgently and who is
registered elsewhere in the UK, they can be seen in the usual way on completion
of a temporary residents’ form. A record of the consultation will then be
forwarded to their registered doctor. (For overseas visitors please check with
reception.)
Violence And Abuse Towards Staff
In keeping with NHS guidelines
this practice operates a ‘zero tolerance’ policy with respect to the
protection of its entire staff. This means that anyone who is violent or abusive
in any way to any member of staff may be removed from the practice list with immediate
effect and without a second chance. Extreme cases will result in being reported
to the police. This applies to all patients, all members of staff, not just the
GPs and includes contact over the phone.
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.
Access To Medical Records
If you would like to see the information held about you on computer, please ask at reception.
Copies can be obtained by written request at a standard fee.
