We do not accept onto our practice list patients who are already registered with a doctor locally. We also prefer that whole families are registered under the care of one medical practice; all members of the family need to be either registered here or elsewhere.
The doctors reserve the right to prescribe all medicines according to the best medical evidence currently available; for example we do not prescribe antibiotics and cough medicines for flu, common colds, most sore throats and coughs because there is no cure for these.
We will regularly review all repeat medications and sick notes rather than simply issuing them routinely, even if this has been the policy of a previous practice.
Drug addiction – WE DO NOT prescribe addictive medications such as Methadone.
