Rights & Responsibilities

You have the right to a high standard of care, and our staff have the right to work without abuse. Please recognise your responsibility in this matter.

Violence/abuse will result in removal from the practice list as we operate a zero tolerance policy in this regard.

We follow a strict confidentiality policy and require your consent to release records / personal information to third parties. You may look at your records after giving 1 week’s written notice. If copies are required a charge will apply (maximum £50). Your personal health information is only used to help improve your quality of care.

Please note if you or you and your family move you must inform the surgery of your new address. If you do not inform us, then your new address may not be accepted and you may be informed by the Health Authority of your need to be registered with another doctor.

If you change your contact telephone numbers it is your responsibility to inform the surgery as soon as possible.
