We welcome all comments on the services provided by the Practice.
We are continually looking to turn out patients’ feedback into real improvements in the services we provide. We use it to focus on the things that matter most to our patients, carers and their families.
We would like to hear from you if you have a suggestion on how we can do things better to improve our patients’ experiences. We’d also like to hear from you if you are pleased with the service you’ve received.
We’ll let the staff involved know and share the good practice across our teams.
Practice Response
We will acknowledge the complaint within 3 working days of receipt verbally or in writing. When acknowledging the complaint, we will offer to meet with you to discuss the complaint, at a time to suit you. We will advise the manner in which the complaint will be investigated and the likely timescale for this investigation and when the complainant is likely to receive a written response.
If you do not want to meet for a discussion then we will determine the response time and notify you in writing.
We will aim to provide a written response within 28 days. We will let you know if it is likely to be longer than this, and keep you updated with the progress of your complaint. The written response will include an explanation of how the complaint has been considered, conclusions reached and how they may affect you. It will confirm any actions that need to be taken as a consequence of the complaint.
If resolution has not been reached, you have the right to take the complaint to the Health Service Ombudsman.
