We welcome comments regarding the quality of the service that we provide. If you have any suggestions on how to improve our services still further, please speak to the receptionist or use our suggestion box in reception.
Our complaints procedure is in accordance with NHS guidelines. If you have a complaint, please ask a receptionist for a complaints form and a copy of the complaints procedure. If you prefer, you can make your complaint in person or by telephone or you can give your consent for someone to complain on your behalf. Any complaints made will be thoroughly investigated and a written response given. The Practice Manager acts as the Complaints Manager for the practice.
