 FREEDOM OF INFORMATION PUBLICATION SCHEME The Freedom of Information Act 2000 obliges the practice to produce a Publication Scheme. A Publication Scheme is a guide to the ‘classes’ of information the practice intends to routinely make available. This scheme is available from reception. Computerisation The practice keeps your medical records on computer. All records are entirely confidential and we are registered as a computer user with the Data Protection Register. Zero Tolerance In keeping with the NHS, this practice operates a “zero tolerance” policy with respect to the protection of its entire staff. This means that anyone who is violent or abusive in any way to any member of staff may be removed from the practice list with immediate effect and without a second chance. Extreme cases will result in being reported to the police. This applies to all patients and all members of staff, not just the GPs and includes contact over the phone. Identification Of Carers The practice is interested in identifying carers to enable us to offer the appropriate support. Please ask at reception for a carers identification and referral form. |
