Patient confidentiality is to be respected at all times.
All patients are to be treated equally and with courtesy at all times; difficulties are to be dealt with swiftly and efficiently.
Patients are to be encouraged to take advantage of the services provided and to recognise the pressures and demands made on the practice.
Requests for repeat prescriptions will be attended to and ready for collection after two working days.
To encourage all of our staff to make comments, suggestions and to partake in decision making within the practice.
The practice will be open to suggestions from the patients on how to improve our services.
Zero Tolerance
The practice will not tolerate verbal or physical abuse from patients towards any member of staff. Anyone behaving in such a manner will be removed from the list and will have to find another doctor.
GP Earnings
All GP practices are required to declare the mean earnings for GPs working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice.
The average pay for GPs working in Moorside Medical Practice in the last financial year was £122,800 before tax and National Insurance. This is for 1 full time GP, 1 part time GP, and 1 locum GP who worked in the practice for more than six months.
It should be noted that the prescribed method of calculating earnings is potentially misleading as it takes no account of how much time doctors spend working in the practice, and should not be used as any form of judgement about GP earnings, nor to make any comparison with any other practice.
