Your confidentiality is important to us...

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  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 to The Well Centre?

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 youth worker again that’s fine - you’re in control and can decide how you feel most comfortable.

Can I choose to see a female Doctor?

Yes. The drop-in sessions on a Monday and every other Thursday have a female doctor.  Dr Steph is here on a Monday and Dr Shabana every other Thursday.
