STAFF PROTECTION
A zero tolerance policy towards violent, threatening and abusive behaviour is now in place throughout the National Health Service.
If such behaviour occurs we may choose to inform the police and make arrangements for the individual to be removed from our medical list.
CONFIDENTIALITY
Health records are strictly confidential and information is only passed on with your consent, within the confines of the NHS or by law. Some details are held on computer and the practice is registered under the Data Protection Act. All staff are bound by strict rules of confidentiality.
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION – 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. |
