Confidentiality Policy

✨ Commitment

We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of confidentiality. All discussions with surgery staff—including doctors, nurses, and receptionists—will remain private.

Confidentiality

👶 Patients Under 16

  • Even if you are under 16, nothing will be shared with parents, family members, care workers, or teachers without your permission.

  • ⚠️ The only exception would be if it is necessary to protect you or someone else from serious harm.

  • 🗣️ In such circumstances, we will always try to discuss this with you first.

💬 Confidential Discussions

  • If you have any worries or questions about confidentiality, please speak to a member of staff.

  • 🛋️ If you would like to discuss matters of a confidential nature, either with our receptionists or a member of the dispensary team, a private side room is available in reception for this purpose.

🤝 Assurance

Your privacy, dignity, and trust are central to the care we provide.
