Zero Tolerance

GP's and staff are working harder than ever during one of the most challenging times in Primary Care. However there has been an increase in violent and aggressive behaviour from patients. The Practice has a zero tolerance policy and will not stand for such behaviour directed at any GP or Practice staff.

Please help us work in a safe environment by treating our GP's & staff with respect.
