Please notify us if you change your name, address
or telephone number so that we can amend your records. If you change
your address and move outwith the practice area, we will have to
ask you to register with another practice nearer to your new home.
We ask you to arrive promptly for appointments and if you are more
than 20 minutes late you will need to re-book. We will treat you
as an individual and respect your privacy and dignity; in return
we ask you to be polite to all of our staff. We have a zero tolerance
policy. In the rare event of a patient being violent or threateningly
abusive to staff or other people in the surgery, we may call the
police, and we may ask the Health Board to remove you from our list.
There is a GP practice in Dundee to which violent patients are referred.
PATIENTS’ COMMENTS, SUGGESTIONS AND COMPLAINTS
We aim to be flexible and responsive in providing the services
you require. If you feel the service could be improved in any way,
then please feel free to pass your comments to Mrs Bruce, practice
manager. If you have a complaint please bring this to our attention
as soon as possible to allow us the opportunity to address your
concerns and if necessary conduct a full investigation. If you wish
to make a formal complaint, please ask the receptionist for a practice
complaints leaflet.
