Patients with Violent or Abusive Behaviour Sample Clauses

Patients with Violent or Abusive Behaviour. It is accepted by the Parties that the optimal arrangement for eligible patients is to have their medical needs met through their GP of choice. However for a very small number of patients exceptional circumstances can arise due to persistent and serious violent or abusive behaviour on their part causing serious health and safety risks to GPs and their practice staff requiring different service arrangements from time to time. The Parties are in agreement that a high level working group will be established to: • Assess the prevalence and impact of this issue in General Practice. • Develop an appropriate model of service to respond to the service needs of this client group. This working group shall commence in quarter 3 of 2019 with the recommendations to be completed in quarter 4 of 2019. The model of service will then be piloted in quarter 2 of 2020 and its evaluation will inform future service arrangements.
