Concerns and Complaints

How to raise a concern or complaint

Our complaints procedure is in line with the NHS ‘Putting Things Right’. We strive to offer an excellent service to our patients but do acknowledge that sometimes things can go wrong. If you are concerned about the service you have received or want to make a complaint, please speak to a member of the team. You will be given information about the complaint process and how we respond to and manage complaints. Our aim is to resolve all complaints in a timely manner and we will aim for local resolution each time. If this is not possible, you will be advised of other ways of dealing with your complaint.

Equally, if we do something well, we would very much appreciate your feedback.
