What we expect from you:

• To telephone the surgery prior to attending for urgent treatment for which you do not have an appointment.
• To attend the surgery instead of requesting a house visit, when at all possible, to gain benefit from facilities available. Home visits will normally be made only in true emergency situations, where for medical reasons the patient is unable to attend the surgery. Please note under current NHS regulations should the doctor consider that the most clinically appropriate place for assessment is at the surgery or our out of hours centre then a home visit will not be made.
• To ask for emergency/night (Out of Hours) medical attention only when it is truly necessary and attend the emergency treatment centre if requested.
• Be seen, under normal circumstances, within 30 minutes of your appointment or to be given the reason for the delay and have the right to make another appointment.
• To be on time for an appointment or let us know as soon as possible if you cannot attend
• To treat the staff with courtesy and understanding. If you fail to do this or act aggressively or violently towards any members of staff, the police will be called and you will be removed from our patient list and we will ask the Cardiff UHB to make other arrangements for you to have access to services.
• To use the Out of Hours and Emergency Services appropriately.
