    Area of Science:

    • General Practice
    • Healthcare Management
    • Patient Conduct

    Background:

    • Patient list removals are a sensitive issue in general practice.
    • Lack of established policies complicates patient removal procedures.
    • Understanding reasons for removal is crucial for practice management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To survey general practitioners (GPs) regarding patient list removals.
    • To identify the frequency and reasons for patient removals.
    • To assess existing policies on patient removals in GP practices.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey was conducted among GPs in Newcastle and North Tyneside.
    • Respondents reported the number of patients removed from their lists annually.
    • Data on the reasons for patient removals were collected.

    Main Results:

    • Most surveyed GPs removed fewer than three patients per year.
    • Over three-quarters of removals were attributed to patient violence, rudeness, or anti-social behavior.
    • The majority of practices lacked a formal policy on patient removals.

    Conclusions:

    • GP practices should maintain records of violent incidents.
    • A facilitator could support practices dealing with repeatedly violent patients.
    • Clearer protocols for patient removals are needed to address behavioral issues.
