Complaints

Have Your Say

We always try to give you the best service possible, but there may be times when you feel this has not happened. This page explains what to do if you have a complaint about the service we provide for you.

Minor Problems, (for example if the doctor’s surgery is running late and you have to wait a long time) may be best addressed by speaking to the individual involved at the time.

We hope you will allow us to look into concerns you have and if necessary, put right what you have identified or mistakes that may have been made.

Please note that we have to respect our duty of confidentiality to patients and a patient’s consent will be necessary if a complaint is not made by that patient in person.

If you wish to make a complaint, please phone or write to our Practice Manager who will take full details of your complaint and decide how best to undertake the investigation. Occasionally, if we have to make a lot of enquiries it might take a little longer to investigate your concerns, but we will keep you informed.

We cannot investigate complaints about other organisations such as hospitals. These have their own complaints procedures.

We hope that at the end of the meeting you will feel satisfied that we have dealt with the matter thoroughly. However if this is not possible and you wish to continue with your complaint we will direct you to the appropriate authorities who will be able to help you.

Complaints leaflet can be obtained from the practice.
