Patient Responsibilities & Obligations

We try to provide a high standard of care and service to all of our patients and we are continually striving to improve our service. We appreciate helpful suggestions and your advice. A suggestions box is located in the entrance to the surgery.

Please notify the surgery as soon as you are aware you cannot attend an appointment or if you need to cancel or re-arrange. Such slots can be useful to other patients. If the doctor or nurse has asked you to return for another appointment, please book it as soon as possible (e.g. before you leave).

Please note that an appointment slot is for one person only. Asking for information about relatives causes delays.

Please respect other patient’s space (especially at the reception).

Our practice disallows aggressive behaviours (personal abuse and / or insulting comments, cursing, swearing, physical and / or aggressive gestures).
