Patient rights and responsibilities

We aim to treat our patients with respect at all times. We expect our patients to treat our staff in the same way.

It is your responsibility to keep your appointments. Please also tell us about past illnesses, medication and hospital admissions.

Patients are supported to understand their rights, including their human rights, rights under the MCA 2005 and their rights under the Equality Act 2010.
