Confidentiality

The relationship between patient and the team providing medical care is based on trust.
We have a professional duty to keep information related to you confidential. Nothing can be disclosed to a third person without your consent, regardless of whether or not the requested treatment is given. We will respect confidentiality, regardless of age, as long as the doctor or nurses feels that the patient is capable of understanding and of making an informed choice about the treatment and/or advice.

In Scotland, the law assumes that anyone over the age of 12 years old can make their own decisions about their health care. Anyone under 12 years old may make decisions about their health care but the doctors must believe that the patient understands enough to be able to do this.

To this end, information regarding the health care of anyone over the age of 12 years, including booked appointments, will not be disclosed to anyone other than the patient, except in cases where prior consent from the patient has been granted to disclose information to a third party.  

STAFF PROTECTION 

A zero tolerance policy towards violent, threatening and abusive behaviour is now in place throughout the National Health Service. Violence in this context includes actual and threatened physical violence or verbal abuse which leads to fear for a persons safety.

The staff in this practice have the right to do their work in an environment free from violent, threatening or abusive behaviour and everything will be done to protect that right.  At no time will this type of behaviour be tolerated in this practice.

If you do not respect the rights of our staff we may choose to inform the police and make arrangements for you to be removed from our medical list. 

Chaperone Policy

You may request a suitably trained chaperone for any procedure, test or examination.

Friends and family are not permitted to act as chaperones.

Please note - both male and female clinical team members work within the practice, if you have a preference, please ensure you discuss this when you book your appointment.

For more information, please speak to reception.
