Suggestions and Complaints

We are happy to receive constructive comments and suggestions for improving our service to patients, for which purpose we have a suggestion box in the waiting room.

If you have any complaints about the services, please ask for an 'in-house' complaints procedure from the receptionists and address your complaint in writing to the Assistant Practice Manager.

Alternatively, why not join our Patient Participation Group and play an even more active part in introducing change and improvement? Find out more information on our PPG page.

Complaints

Whilst we constantly strive to provide a friendly and efficient service we realise that occasionally things do not go as smoothly as we would like.

We operate an internal complaints procedure. This does not affect a patient's right to pursue a more formal complaint but does recognise the fact that lengthy official complaints procedures are a cause of stress to all parties involved.

If you have a complaint about your GP practice, please contact your practice manager in the first instance. Most grievances are resolved to the satisfaction of all concerned by an explanation of what went wrong, a speedy apology and an assurance that steps will be taken to avoid repetition. Alternatively, you can raise complaints about a GP, dentist, pharmacy, optician, or GP services (but not Out of Hours) with the NHS England please get in touch with them via the contact details below. Ask at reception for a leaflet on our complaints procedure or download our complaints procedure document (PDF, 204KB). Alternatively, download our easy read guide (PDF, 405KB).
