🚨 Zero Tolerance Policy Reminder 🚨

We’ve seen an increase in unacceptable behaviour and abuse directed towards our staff. This is deeply concerning and will not be tolerated under any circumstances.

Our team works hard every day to care for and support our patients - everyone deserves to be treated with respect and kindness. 💙

👉 Any form of verbal, physical, or written abuse will result in action being taken, which may include removal from the practice list.

Let’s continue to work together to keep our practice a safe, supportive, and respectful environment for all.
