📣 Reminder to be kind and respectful when using our service as our staff are under continued severe pressures which is reflective of the health service in general at present .

We recognise that the vast majority of patients are kind and understanding.

Unfortunately we have seen a recent increase in verbal abuse and we must remind everyone that we have a zero tolerance policy on abusive behaviour towards our staff . Abusive behaviour, including verbally abusive language to staff may result in the patient being removed from our practice list.

Thank you
