Mitcham and Tooting Health Zero Tolerance Violence Policy
Our practice supports the NHS zero- tolerance zone campaign. Violent, threatening or abusive patients will be reported to the police and removed from the GPs list. We ask that you treat your GP and practice staff with courtesy, without violence, threat of violence or abuse.
All practices, in line with government guidelines, have a ‘Zero Tolerance to Violence’ policy. This means that any violent or abusive behaviour or perceived threatening behaviour, whether verbal or otherwise to staff or members of the public on practice premises will not be tolerated. We can refuse to provide a service, report the incident to the police and request that the patient and their family be removed from their practice list.
