Paragraph 47 Practice leaflet

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

Subject to paragraph (2), a doctor whose name is included in the medical list of an FHSA shall compile in relation to his practice a document (in this paragraph called a “practice leaflet”) which shall include the information specified in Schedule 12.

(2)

Sub-paragraph (1) shall, in relation to a doctor referred to in regulation 4(2)(e), apply only to the extent that the FHSA sees fit.

(3)

A doctor shall review his practice leaflet at least once in every period of 12 months, and shall make any amendments necessary to maintain its accuracy.

(4)

A doctor shall make available a copy of the most recent edition of his practice leaflet to the FHSA, to each patient on his list and to any other person who, in the doctor’s opinion, reasonably requires one.

(5)

A doctor who practises in partnership with other doctors whose names are included in the medical list shall satisfy the requirements of this paragraph if he makes available a practice leaflet, compiled and, where appropriate, revised in accordance with sub-paragraphs (1) and (3), which relates to the partnership as a whole; and in such a case a doctor may, if he so wishes, also produce a practice leaflet relating to his own activities.
