Patient rights and responsibilities

We always aim to treat our patients courteously and expect patients to treat our staff in a similarly respectful way.

We take seriously any threatening, abusive or violent behaviour against any of our staff or patients.

If a patient is violent or abusive, they will be warned to stop.

If they persist, we may exercise our right to take action to have them removed from our patient register.
