Can I refuse to treat a patient If there's been a breakdown in relationship between us?

If, in the reasonable opinion of the provider, there has been an irrevocable breakdown in the relationship between the patient and the practice, the practice may decline to offer further treatment to the patient.

It's the responsibility of the provider to give notice of such a breakdown to the patient, and it is recommended that the provider also notifies their Commissioner.

If a patient has been violent or abusive towards practice staff, the practice should inform the Local Security Management Specialist at their Commissioner.
