Protection
A zero tolerance policy towards violent, threatening and abusive behaviour is
now in place throughout the National Health Service.
The staff in this practice have the right to do their work in an environment
free from such behaviour and everything will be done
to protect that right.
At no time will any violent, threatening or abusive behaviour be tolerated in
this practice. If you do not respect the right of our staff we may choose to
inform the police and make arrangements for you to be removed from our medical
list.
Non
NHS Examinations
Some medical examinations, for example, diving medicals/HGV/DNA tests/fitness
to travel and pre-employment medicals, are not covered by NHS arrangements. These
examinations are done by special arrangement in surgery time and a fee is payable.
Calling All Carers
We recognise that carers make an enormous contribution to the welfare of others
but often neglect their own needs. We would like to remind you that looking after yourself is
as important as looking after others.
Please let surgery staff know if you care for or help someone frail and/or with
an illness or disability. This could be a partner, relative, friend or neighbour.
We can add you to our Carers' Register, which enables us to acknowledge your
needs as a carer and supply you with further information where appropriate. We
can also put you in touch with other organisations that may be able to provide
extra support.
Registration forms are available at reception or you can phone the surgery during
normal opening hours.
Freedom
Of Information Act 2000
Fitzalan Medical Group conform to the requirements of the Freedom of Information
Act 2000. We have produced a publication scheme in accordance with the Act, a
copy of which is available on request.
