As a practice it is important to receive feedback on the services and care we provide to know if we are doing well in a particular area or not.
Compliments
Letting us know if you have had a good experience enables us to understand what is working well for our patients and to shape our services further. If you have had a positive experience of our practice please let us know. You can do this by leaving a review on NHS Choices [hyperlinked] or by completing our Friends & Family Test which you may be asked to complete following an appointment. You can also complete a Comments Card at our practice.
Complaints
The Practice makes every effort to give the best service possible to everyone who attends our practice but accept that sometimes things go wrong. If you have concerns about the care or treatment you have received from us then please let us know as this gives us the opportunity to investigate your complaint and improve our practice.
Most issues can be sorted out quickly and easily, often at the time they arise with the person concerned and this may be the approach you try first. However if you wish to make a more formal complaint you can do this either in writing or verbally to our Practice Manger.
