Rivermead Gate Medical Centre

Zero tolerance against violent or abusive behaviour

It is a very sad fact that our practice and staff have been the victims of threatening and violent behaviour from patients.  We would like to remind our patients and visitors that Violence against staff working in the NHS is a crime. Individuals behaving in this manner towards staff will be reported to the police and prosecution sought.

We operate a zero tolerance policy on all abuse to our staff – both physical and verbal, (actual or threatened).

Any patient or member of the public found in breach of this policy will be told to leave the premises and advised to find an alternative GP Practice.

Please respect the team that looks after you.
