Violent and Abusive Patients

The practice is committed to producing a high quality of care to our patients. The relationship between the patients and those working in the surgery is an important issue and is a two-way process. Therefore, in order to protect both the staff and other patients we respectfully point out that this practice supports the Government’s NHS zero tolerance zone campaign. Violent and abuse is a growing concern. GPs and their staff have the right to care for others without fear of being attacked or abused. Violent patients will be reported to the police.
