Patient Rights

In Scottish GP practices, patients have rights related to access, communication, confidentiality, respect, safety, and feedback/complaints. These rights are enshrined in the Patient Rights (Scotland) Act 2011 and the NHS Scotland's Charter of Patient Rights and Responsibilities. Patients have the right to be treated with respect, have their needs considered, and participate in decisions about their care. 

Key Patient Rights in GP Practices in Scotland:

•    Access:

Patients have the right to access safe and effective care and treatment that is provided at the right time, in the right place, by the most appropriate person. 

•    Communication and Participation:

Patients have the right to be informed and involved in decisions about their care, including receiving information in a way they understand and asking questions. 

•    Confidentiality:

Patients have the right to privacy and to have their personal health information protected. 

•    Respect:

Patients have the right to be treated with dignity and respect, and not to experience discrimination. 

•    Safety:

Patients have the right to safe and effective care and treatment. 

•    Feedback and Complaints:

Patients have the right to provide feedback about their care and have any complaints dealt with appropriately. 

•    Duty of Care:

Healthcare professionals have a legal duty of care to ensure patients receive safe and effective care. 

•    Consideration of Needs:

The healthcare provided should consider the patient's individual needs, what would most benefit their health and wellbeing, and encourage their participation in decisions about their health and wellbeing. 

•    Information and Support:

Patients have the right to be given the information and support they need to participate in decisions about their health and wellbeing.

Test Results

• For fasting blood tests – do not eat or drink anything for 8 hours prior to the test (important medication can be taken with water only, please ask).
• Early morning urine tests – the urine needs to be produced immediately on rising (before you move about to much). 
• Please label any specimen containers with your name, date of birth and date you produced the specimen. 
• Your doctor/nurse will tell you how to obtain the results.

Note that the practice has a strict policy regarding confidentiality and data protection and we will only release test results to the person to whom they relate unless that person has given prior permission for the release of this data or they are not capable of understanding the results.
