Coronavirus

The NHS in Dorset and Public Health England (PHE) are extremely well prepared for outbreaks of new infectious diseases.  The NHS has put in place measures to ensure the safety of all patients and NHS staff while also ensuring services are available to the public as normal.

The risk to the general public is moderate.  If you have arrived back to the UK from mainland China, Thailand, Japan, Republic of Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia or Macau within 14 days, follow the specific advice for returning travellers.

Call 111 now if you’ve been:

to Wuhan or Hubei Province in China in the last 14 days (even if you do not have symptoms)

to other parts of China, including Macau and Hong Kong, in the last 14 days and have a cough, high temperature or shortness of breath (even if it’s mild)

to Thailand, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Republic of Korea or Malaysia in the last 14 days and have a cough, high temperature of shortness of breath (even if it’s mild)

in close contact with someone with confirmed coronavirus

Do not go to a GP surgery, community pharmacy or hospital.  Call 111, stay indoors and avoid close contact with other people.

Zero Tolerance

It’s a very sad day when we feel we need to post this in our waiting room and on our website

The Practice takes it very seriously if a member of staff or one of the doctors or nursing team is treated in an abusive or violent way

The Practice supports the governments ‘Zero Tolerance’ campaign for Health Service Staff. This states that GPs and their staff have a right to care for others without fear of being attacked or abused. To successfully provide these services a mutual respect between all the staff and patients has to be in place. All our staff aim to be polite, helpful and sensitive to all patients’ individual needs and circumstances. They would respectfully remind patients that very often staff could be confronted with a multitude of varying and sometimes difficult tasks and situations, all at the same time. The staff understand that ill patients do not always act in a reasonable manner and will take this into consideration when trying to deal with a misunderstanding or complaint.

However, aggressive behaviour, be it violent or more commonly, abusive, will not be tolerated and may result in you being removed from the Practice list and, in extreme cases, the Police being contacted.

In order for the Practice to maintain good relations with their patients the Practice would like to ask all its patients to read and take note of the occasional types of behaviour that would be found unacceptable:

• Using bad language or swearing at Practice staff
• Any physical violence towards any member of the Primary Health Care Team, or other patients, such as pushing and shoving
• Verbal abuse towards the staff including verbally insulting the staff
• Racial abuse and sexual harassment will not be tolerated within this Practice
• Persistent or unrealistic demands that cause stress to staff will not be accepted. Requests will be met wherever possible and explanations given when they cannot
• Causing damage/stealing from the Practice premises, staff or patients
• Obtaining drugs and/or medical services fraudulently

We ask you to treat your GP’s and their staff courteously at all times

Please be nice, we are trying to help you!
