FAQs:

Is the advice confidential?

Yes. Anything you discuss with the Well Centre staff will stay confidential within the team. Even if you are under 16 nothing will usually be said to anyone including parents, other family members, care workers or tutors without your permission.

There are a few exceptions to this:

  • if you agree we can tell other people in order for them to help to keep you safe.
  • if we are concerned that you or anybody else may be harmed or in danger, we are allowed to tell appropriate professionals, but we will discuss that with you at the time.
  • if you are being treated elsewhere it is best if you allow the doctor or nurse to inform the practice of any treatment you are receiving. Again, we will ask your permission to do this first.

Can a friend come with me?

Yes. If you’d like to bring a friend (or friends) down to the Well Centre to support you that’s fine. If you’d like them to accompany you when you see the doctor, nurse or health & wellbeing practitioner again that’s fine – you’re in control and can decide how you feel most comfortable.

Can I choose to see a male or female doctor?

Yes. We have both male & female doctors available at The Well Centre. Please let us know your preference at point of booking.
