Aims and objectives
What do you wish to achieve by providing regulated activities?
How will your service help the people who use your services?
Please use the numbered bullet points:
1. Our aim is to provide continuing high quality personal medical care to all our
patients. With this in mind, we have produced a Charter setting out the standards of
service patients should expect, and a User’s Guide to help us to provide the best
possible service. In order to achieve our aim we will:
2. Treat all patients as an individual and ensure that they will be given courtesy and
respect at all times, irrespective of their ethnic origin, religious belief, personal
attributes or the nature of their health problems. In return we also expect all Doctors
and our Staff to be treated courteously at all times.
3. Operate ethically within a framework of openness and transparency
4. Ensure that our approach to employment is people centered. This will ensure we
have good relationships between patients, Partners and staff which will lead to a
motivated organisation providing effective health care for the benefit of our patients by
promoting health and well-being.
5. Treat patients and co-workers with dignity, empathy and respect. We seek to
ensure that patients and their Carers are welcomed in a courteous and considerate
manner, respecting privacy and dignity whilst maintaining confidentiality at all times
through effective and robust systems and governance.
6. Maintain a clean, safe physical environment by complying with Health & Safety
Regulations ensuring we have safe and suitable premises as well as ensuring
suitability of equipment.
7. Continually improve through education, evaluation and monitoring by undertaking
GP and staff appraisals, reviewing objectives and identifying any learning needs and
training.
8. Employ a highly motivated and appropriately skilled workforce. We consider the
staff to be its most valuable asset and are committed to ensure that our employment
practices represent recognized best practices.
9. Be committed and responsive to our patients’ needs through feedback from Patient
Surveys, Patient Reference Group, Patient Forum, regular Newsletters, Complaints
Procedures, Friends and Family Test, NHS Choices
