📢 Respecting Our Staff at The Alice Medical Centre
At The Alice Medical Centre, we are proud to care for our community and support our patients every day. We understand that when you contact us, it is often because you are worried, unwell, or frustrated — and we recognise that emotions can sometimes run high.

➡However, we would like to remind all patients and visitors that we operate a zero tolerance policy towards abuse of our staff.

➡Our reception team, clinicians, and wider staff work incredibly hard to provide safe, timely, and compassionate care. They are here to help you — and deserve to be treated with respect at all times.

🚫 We will not tolerate:
-Verbal abuse or shouting
-Threatening behaviour
-Harassment or intimidation

✅ We ask that you:
-Speak calmly and respectfully
-Show patience and understanding
-Work with our team so we can help you as best as we can

While we appreciate that frustrations can arise — particularly during busy periods or when services are under pressure — abusive behaviour is never acceptable and may result in action being taken, including removal from the practice list.

💙 We are here to care for you. Please help us make our centre a safe and respectful environment for everyone.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
— The Alice Medical Centre Team

🌿 A helpful reminder from The Alice Medical Centre 🌿

To make sure we can support you as efficiently as possible, we kindly ask that patients submit one issue per message or request.

When several problems are included together, it becomes harder for our team to triage, prioritise, and ensure each concern is handled safely and accurately. By sending issues separately, you help us:

✔️ Respond more quickly
✔️ Make sure nothing gets missed
✔️ Direct your query to the right clinician or team member
✔️ Keep our workflow running smoothly for everyone

Your cooperation genuinely helps us provide better, safer care for all our patients.
Thank you for working with us — we appreciate your support 💚
