Charter
Freedom
Of Infomation - 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.
This scheme is available from reception or alternatively
by downloading from our website.
Zero Tolerance
We
strongly support the NHS policy on zero tolerance. Anyone attending the surgery
who abuses the GPs, staff or other patients be it verbally, physically or in any
threatening manner whatsoever, will risk removal from the practice list. In extreme
cases we may summon the police to remove offenders from the practice premises.
Confidentiality,
Computers And Test Results
All staff are trained in keeping all
information about you strictly confidential.
In order to maintain confidentiality,
laboratory results and x-ray results will only be given to patients themselves
or to parents of minors where appropriate. When enquiring for a result, please
telephone the practice and speak to one of the receptionists. Please note that
results will not be given out until they have been reported on by the doctor.
