General Consent and Welcome

Welcome to our service. The basic principles upon which our services are provided to you are outlined below.

Consent

All Patients must consent to receiving our care and treatment based on these principles and understandings. Consents also include your implied permissions to obtain, store, use, and share data with other legitimate health and social care providers and to destroy your data when it is no longer required and/or mandatory for legal purposes. Consent will also include your permission to communicate electronically, e.g. via telephone, email, video etc. using safe and secure systems when appropriate.

Our Staff

All our staff are:

We believe that complaints and compliments are a valuable indicator of the quality of our service, and an opportunity to improve that quality. We assure all Patients that no-one will be victimised for making a complaint, and we encourage Patients to instigate the complaints procedure whenever they feel that this is necessary. We do not wish to confine complaints to key issues. We encourage Patients to comment when minor matters are a problem to them. It is our policy that all matters which disturb or upset a Patient should be reported, recorded, and corrective action should be taken. Only in that way can we work towards meeting our aim of continuously improving our service.

Our commitment is that:

All complaints will be taken seriously; You will receive a response within 3 working days of the complaint being made, and a final reply within 28 days (about 4 weeks); If the complaint is upheld, you will receive a written apology and appropriate action will be taken to rectify the complaint, and you will be informed of what that action is; All complaints will be acted upon with fairness and impartiality; Patients are entitled to involve an impartial third party in the complaint procedure if they so wish. Patients and their representatives may take their complaints to people in authority outside the Company if they are not satisfied with the response that they receive from us. We aim to always respect your privacy and dignity. Please speak to the supervisor or CQC Registered Manager if your privacy or dignity is not being respected. Records will be designed, used, and stored to assure privacy. Legislative controls over records, such as the Data Protection Act, will be adhered to, and the Patient’s explicit permission in writing will be sought before information is passed to any person other than those directly concerned with the care of the Patient.

Confidentiality of Information

Your rights to confidentiality will be safeguarded. We will not disclose any personal information about you to a third party unless this has been agreed with you. An agreement to disclose information should only be sought if it is for your benefit, e.g., to assist in your support. Our policy is that any information about you is strictly confidential and that maintaining a position of trust in this regard is paramount. However, because some information is relevant to providing quality support, such information will be shared with members of staff who may be supporting you. Visiting professionals and visitors requiring information will be referred in the first instance to the Registered Manager or the person in charge within the Company. You or, where appropriate, your principal Carer will be consulted where appropriate before information is released. Information about you will be stored on paper and may also be held on the computer. Both forms are treated in the same strictly confidential way. CCTV may be used to protect your security and well-being. We have strict protocols in place in order to protect unauthorised access to or release of CCTV images.  CCTV will not be used in restricted areas (such as WCs and changing rooms) or in treatment rooms without explicit Patient consent having been obtained. Your information is needed to enable staff to provide proper support and treatment. Some of the information may also be used for other purposes, such as:

Sometimes information about you needs to be passed on to other agencies or organisations, for example if you are receiving care or support from a GP or hospital. The types of organisations with whom we may share information about you are:

Further details about how we use your information are available in our Privacy Notice. See our website (or available upon request). In the event of the organisation ceasing to trade, data about you will be held confidential and only passed to legitimate third-parties organisations which comply with all necessary and statutory obligations regarding data security.

Equal Opportunities

You have the right to practice your beliefs, religion, or culture without constraint by restrictive or discriminatory practice. Complaints of discriminatory practice will be thoroughly investigated, and the results of the investigation made known to the complainant.

Teaching

Occasionally staff in training (such as medical students) may wish to be present during your consultations. If you are not happy with this, please let us know.

Chaperoning

If you wish for a chaperone, please make this known to the receptionist and/or your clinician. We will do our best to provide a chaperone, but you may wish to note that if this cannot be arranged immediately then it may be necessary to reschedule your appointment so that a chaperone can be provided. We will try to provide a chaperone on request without charge, but if additional costs are incurred, these may need to be passed on to you after due notice. Please note that our clinicians may themselves arrange for a chaperone to be present during their consultations with you if this is required on clinical or safety grounds.

Respect For Other Patients and Staff

You are requested to afford the same courtesy to other Patients and staff as you would expect to receive yourself.

Our service will follow all reasonable safety precautions to protect against Coronavirus and other infectious diseases, but patients attend the clinic at their own risk.
