Patients' Rights
You have a right to expect a high standard of medical care from our practice and we try at all times to provide the very best care possible within the resources available.
Very occasionally a practice/patient relationship breaks down completely. In this situation the patient may to choose to register with another practice. The practice also has the right to remove the patient from the list. This would normally only follow when a warning has failed to remedy the situation and we would give the patient the reason for removal and information on how to register with another practice.
