Safeguarding
Everyone in the UK has the fundamental right to live free from harm and abuse. The Ruskington Medical Practice feel that safeguarding is everyone’s business by working closely with many different people and organisations in Lincolnshire.
The Practice has a dedicated safeguarding team within the practice:
Safeguarding lead for Children and Adults – Dr R Wiseman
Deputy safeguarding lead for Adults – Andy Cullum Clinical Care Co-ordinator
Deputy safeguarding lead for Children – Michelle Batchelor Lead Practice Nurse and Ellie Tuplin Urgent Care Practitioner
