Arriving promptly for your appointment.
Treating our staff politely. We know you are often unwell when you visit us and we do our best to help you.
Cancelling any appointment you do not need so that someone else can take your place (if you do not attend and do not cancel we may consider removing you from our list).
Ordering your repeat prescriptions in plenty of time.
Switching off mobile phones whilst on the practice premises.
