ZERO TOLERANCE: A Message from the Partners

We have worked tirelessly as ever throughout the pandemic to ensure we are providing the best possible care to our patients. We understand the frustrations that people have and we are doing all that we can to ensure we can help. It has been noted that our staff are facing an increasing amount of abuse from patients. The GP Partners and Management at Westerhope Medical Group would like to remind patients that we have a zero-tolerance policy on both physical and verbal abuse. If you are found to be in breach of this policy, then this may result in you being asked to find a new GP surgery.
