Telephone: We will try to answer the phone promptly and to ensure that there are sufficient staff available to do this. You may not be able to speak to a doctor by telephone immediately, but your request will be added to a register of telephone consultation appointments for the doctor or nurse to call you back.

Test Results: If you have undergone tests or x-rays ordered by the practice, we will inform you of the results at your next appointment, where appropriate. If no further appointment needs to be arranged, we will advise you when and how to obtain the results.

Respect: Patients will be treated as individuals and partners in their healthcare, irrespective of their ethnic origin or religious and cultural beliefs.
