Patient Responsibilities

In order for us to provide a good service we also require patients to act responsibly by following the procedures below:

  • Remember to keep your appointment. If you are not able to attend, please inform the surgery as soon as possible.
  • If more than one person needs to be seen, make a separate appointment for each patient.
  • Please remember a prescription is not always necessary with every consultation. Your doctor will advise you accordingly.
  • Please request out of hours consultations for emergencies only. Home visits are at the doctor’s discretion.
  • Please treat the reception team with the respect they deserve. They work very hard and can be very busy. Your patience is appreciated.
  • Look after your own health. Exercise regularly, eat healthily and try not to smoke.
  • Ensure you have enough medication at all times.
