Training Practice

Verwood Surgery is a ‘training practice’. GP Registrars are doctors experienced in hospital medicine, but fresh to general practice and may be working in the practice for up to one year at a time.

As part of their training, some consultations will be recorded on videotape. These recordings are strictly confidential and only seen by doctors. They are done with your consent which of course you are entitled to withhold.

Confidentiality

You can be assured that anything you discuss with any member of the surgery staff, whether doctor, nurse or receptionist, will remain confidential. Even if you are under 16, nothing will be said to anyone, including parents, other family members, care workers or teachers, without your permission. The only reason why we might want to consider passing on confidential information without your permission would be to protect either you or someone else from serious harm. In this situation, we would always try to discuss this with you first.

If you have any worries or queries about confidentiality, please ask a member of staff.

If you would like to discuss matters of a confidential nature, either with our receptionists or a member of the dispensary team, we have a side room available in reception for this purpose.
