Treatment Centre
Exmouth Hospital is open 24 hours a day for accidents and emergencies. We help to cover the Treatment Centre with other Doctors on a rota basis. Although this may sometimes interrupt Surgery appointment times, it does mean that we can offer you an emergency service locally out of hours, with suitable back-up and nursing help. Telephone 282001.
Hospital Sessions
Dr Douglas is an Anaesthetist at Exmouth Hospital.
Training
We are a training Practice. You may be offered an appointment with a qualified
Doctor gaining experience in General Practice, or asked if one may be present
while you consult your own Doctor. If you prefer to see your own Doctor in private,
please say so. No-one will be offended. Dr Kevin Douglas is an approved trainer.
We are also involved with the Peninsula Medical School and provide training from time to time for Medical Students.
Violence and Abuse
We aim to treat our patients courteously at all times and expect our patients to treat our staff in a similarly respectful way. We take seriously any threatening, abusive or violent behaviour against any of our staff or patients. If a patient is violent or abusive, they will be warned to stop their behaviour. If they persist, we may exercise our right to take action to have them removed, immediately if necessary, from our list of patients.
