Temporary Pause on Medicals

We regret to announce that due to the recent retirement of Dr McLoughlin and whilst we are in the process of inducting our new GPs, we have had no choice but to put a temporary pause on occupational and leisure related medical assessments. At present, we are hoping to begin providing these again from the beginning of June but this is still subject to change.

We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this will cause, and recommend that anyone who needs a Medical of this nature during this timeframe seeks them out through a private hospital or other organisation. Thank you for your understanding.

Zero Tolerance

We operate a Zero Tolerance Policy with regard to abuse or violence towards our staff. We reserve the right to remove abusive or violent patients from the Practice List.

Chaperones

If you are undergoing an intimate examination, your doctor or nurse will ask if you require a chaperone. It’s a chaperone’s job to provide extra security and privacy during intimate examinations or procedures. If you have not been offered a chaperone but you would still like to be accompanied, please ask the doctor or another member of staff and one will be arranged for you.

Our chaperones are available to all of our patients regardless of the gender of the patient or practitioner, and every chaperone is fully trained, holding enhanced DBS checks.
We will always take steps to ensure that the privacy and confidentiality of our patients are maintained.

Please note that we cannot provide chaperones for home visits.
