You have responsibilities as well as rights towards the practice, staff and other patients. Most of these are simply to do with common sense and politeness. Choosing a Doctor Even if there is more than one doctor in the practice, you can see any of the GPs in the practice where you are registered as a patient. It makes sense to stick to one GP and build up a relationship with them. Find out if they run an appointments system or whether you can just turn up and wait during surgery hours.
People have their own preferences and there are benefits and disadvantages in both systems.
Thousands of patients come off their doctor's list every year. The vast majority are simply because they move house to live out of the practice area. On the other hand, abusive or violent behaviour towards your GPs or their staff is on the increase. Patients shouldn't be taken off the list simply because their treatment is expensive. Just as patients don't have to explain their reasons for leaving their GP's list, GPs don't have to say why patients have been removed.
