We are officially a YOUNG PEOPLE FRIENDLY SURGERY. This means that we have been able to demonstrate quality standards in the care of young people.
You can make an appointment to see a nurse or a doctor in CONFIDENCE about ANY health issue such as:
- skin problems
- puberty & periods
- relationships
- family problems
- contraception
- eating problems
- bullying
- loneliness
- friendships
- alcohol / drugs / smoking
Anything you discuss with any member of our practice team will remain confidential. Even if you are under 16 nothing will be said to anyone without your permisssion.
The only reason we might have to consider passing on confidential information without your permission, would be to protect you or someone else from serious harm. We would always try to discuss this with you first.
You can make an appointment to see a doctor or nurse in confidence by contacting the reception desk at either surgery.
We also have an information board in the surgery dedicated to teenage health issues and concerns. This not only contains a good deal of useful information, but a range of support numbers that you can contact in confidence should you prefer to seek advice from outside the surgery.
