We would like to remind all patients that our practice operates a Zero Tolerance Policy towards abuse, aggression, or disrespectful behaviour.
Our team works hard every day to support and care for our patients. This includes both long-standing members of staff and those who are new and currently learning their roles. Speaking to any member of our team in an unacceptable, aggressive, or disrespectful manner will not be tolerated.
Recently, there have been instances where staff have been spoken to in a way that has reduced them to tears. This is completely unacceptable. Our staff come to work to help and care for patients and deserve to be treated with respect and kindness at all times.
While we understand that healthcare concerns can be sometimes stressful or frustrating, abusive or intimidating behaviour towards our team will not be tolerated. Warning letters will be issued to patients whose behaviour breaches our Zero Tolerance Policy.
We are proud of our team and are committed to ensuring they work in a safe, supportive, and respectful environment. We thank the vast majority of our patients who treat our staff with the courtesy they deserve.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
