Zero Tolerance Policy
Any patient who is physically or verbally abusive to any Doctor or member of staff within the practice, will be removed from their Doctor’s list under the immediate removal procedure and will be assigned to a Doctor looking after the scheme in the Weston area.
Any form of violence against anyone in the practice is unacceptable. Violence means any incident where staff or Doctors are threatened, verbally abused and assaulted. Violent and abusive behaviour will not be tolerated and appropriate action will be taken as detailed above.
We are working together with other local practices to offer patients access to more appointments in the early mornings, evenings and at weekends. To find out more about these services, please contact the practice.
