Practice terms

Please read the following information carefully before agreeing to the terms of your health care at this practice.

This Practice operates a practice formulary, which is a list of drugs that we are prepared to prescribe. The GP’s will only prescribe medication that they are confident in and familiar with, as well as drugs approved and included in the Joint Lincolnshire Formulary (you can check which drugs are not available here on the Lincolnshire Formulary website).

Certain drugs are NOT prescribed by this practice.  You therefore agree to accept the drugs prescribed by this Practice.

If you wish to check that we can prescribe your current medication, we suggest you enquire with our dispensary manager before registering.

Contract of care

Your responsibilities to us and to yourselves are:

  • To attend booked appointments or give adequate notice of cancellation. Action will be taken if patients repeatedly fail to attend booked appointments.
  • To treat the premises and members of staff with the same respect you expect the practice to extend to you.
  • To comply with recommended treatment.
  • To attend for screening and prevention programmes.
  • To allow correct time for prescription repeats.

We cannot accept responsibility for your health if you neither comply with nor attend for medication or clinic appointments.

Behaviour

Patients who verbally or physically abuse members of staff will be removed from the practice list at short notice.
