Freedom of Information Act 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 the practice manager.
Zero Tolerance Campaign
We are an active participant in the Department of Health's zero tolerance campaign, and will not under any circumstances accept any verbal or physical abuse directed towards patients, GPs or any member of the practice team. You will be removed from our list and the health authority and Primary Care Trust will be informed of this. You will then be asked to find another GP. If you are unable to do this, you must contact the health authority and they will allocate you one.
