Dr Murdoch's Retirement

**Announcement **

On Friday 30th August we are very sad to be saying goodbye to Karen Murdoch who is retiring after 27 years of serving the people of Perranporth and surrounding areas.

We will miss her dedication, wisdom, care and humour in all aspects of the job. Karen’s influence has enabled us to continue to build our work family which has taken us through some difficult times.

We hope you join us in wishing her a happy and well-deserved retirement.

Urine Processes update

URINE SPECIMINS UPDATE
 

The way we are managing our urine sample collections is changing from Monday 29th July 2024. With ever increasing work pressures in primary care and increasing antibiotic resistance we need to ensure our management of possible urinary tract infections (UTI) is appropriate.

If you are female, aged between 16 – 64 with a new presentation of a suspected UTI and you are well, you may be directed to the pharmacy first. Pharmacists can provide antibiotics in some UTI situations.

You must have a clinical consultation BEFORE we will accept a urine sample at the surgery. If we do request a sample then it will need to try and be at the surgery by 14:00, to ensure time to process this and go with our courier to the laboratory.  On Friday the absolute cut off is 14:00, as our last courier is at 15:00 and samples will not keep over the weekend.

If you have an appointment with a clinician on the day you wish to bring a sample, please continue to bring this to your appointment and hand to the clinician.

Zero Tolerance Policy

NHS staff should be able to come to work without fear of violence, abuse or harassment from patients or their relatives.

The NHS operate a Zero Tolerance Policy with regard to violence and abuse and the Practice has the right to remove violent patients from their list with immediate effect, in order to safeguard practice staff, patients and other persons. Violence in this context includes actual or threatened physical violence or verbal abuse which leads to fear for a person’s safety. In this situation we will notify the patient in writing of their removal from the list and record in the patient’s medical records the fact of the removal and the circumstances leading to it.

Where patients are disruptive and display aggressive and/or intimidating behaviour and refuse to leave the premises, staff are instructed to dial 999 for Police assistance, and charges may then be brought against these individuals
