Complaint Information

registration1We always try to give you the best service possible, but there maybe times when you feel this has not happened. This explains what to do if you have a complaint about the services we provide.

 

Right To Complain

We have to respect our duty of confidentiality to patients and a patients consent will be necessary if someone other than the patients wishes to complain on their behalf.

How To Complain

If you have a complaint you must first bring it to the attention of one of our staff. If the matter cannot be resolved on the spot and you wish to take it further please write to our Practice Manager Anita Summerfield. She will take full details of your complaint and decide how best to undertake the investigation. A written acknowledgement will be sent to you within three days.

The aim is to resolve complaints speedily. In normal circumstances, therefore you will be offered either an oral or written response or an appointment for a meeting to discuss your concerns. We will aim to resolve your complaints within ten days. Sometimes, we may need to make some enquiries and this may take a little longer before we can contact you. In this instance, we will keep you informed.

We will always try to address your concerns fully, provide you with an explanation and discuss any action that maybe needed.

We hope that upon receipt of our written response or at the end of the meeting, you will feel satisfied that we have dealt with the matter thoroughly.

Staff Complaints About Patients

We would like to point out that the staff have the same rights as the patient. We operate a zero tolerance to abuse. If they feel they need to complain about a patient the same procedure will be followed and the matter will be brought to the patient's attention if necessary.
