You will be treated in a polite and respectful manner at all times by the doctors, nurses and other members of the practice team.
The surgery will be clean and comfortable as far as facilities permit. If you are a new patient you will be offered a health check when you register with the practice.
When necessary your doctor will refer you to a consultant appropriate to your condition.
You have the right to confidentiality at all times.
The doctors endeavour to see their patients on time, but, at least, within a minimum of thirty minutes of their appointment time. However, should there be an additional delay, you will be advised of the reason by the receptionists.
You can expect to be given an urgent appointment with a doctor – not necessarily your own registered GP - within one working day.
You are able to see your medical records subject to the limitations of the law.
All patients aged 75 years or over will be offered an annual health check by the practice nurses including a home visit if they are not able to come into the surgery.
