Violence Statement
The practice will not tolerate abuse, violent or threatening behaviour. The practice follows the NHS ’Zero Tolerance’ policy and will not hesitate to report a person causing distress in our practice to the police.
Any patient who is abusive will be removed from the practice list, and may have to be managed under the Primary Care Trust’s arrangements for violent patients.
These arrangements mean patients will only be able to see a doctor at a certain time and specified place.
