Complaints

We make every effort to give the best possible service to everyone who attends our practice.

We are aware, however, that things can go wrong resulting in a patient feeling that they have a genuine cause for complaint. If this is the case, we would wish for the matter to be settled amicably and as quickly as possible.

Most problems can be sorted out at the time they arise and with the person concerned, without the need to raise a formal complaint. In the first instance, we would ask you to give us the opportunity to resolve your problem by telephoning the Practice. 

How to complain

If you wish to make a formal complaint, it would be helpful if you would let us know as soon as possible as this will enable us to establish what happened more easily.  

Formal complaints should be addressed to our Complaints Manager.

What we will do

  • We will acknowledge your complaint within three working days.
  • Provide an indication of the timescale for the investigation and resolution of the complaint. 
  • During the investigation we may need to seek the opinion of our clinical staff involved in your care and find out what has happened.
  • If we cannot resolve the complaint within the timescales given, we will keep you informed of any delays and provide the reason.
  • We will make sure that you receive an apology where it is appropriate.
