Complaints policy
Our practice procedure is not able to deal with questions of legal liability or compensation. We hope you will use it to allow us to look into and, if necessary, correct any problems that you have identified, or mistakes that have been made.
If you use this procedure it will not affect your right to complain to the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman. Please note that we have to respect our duty of confidentiality to patients and a patient’s consent will be necessary if a complaint is not made by the patient in person.
If you wish to make a complaint, please write to our operations manager Kerry Anderson or our Business Manager, Joe Oxley. If you cannot put this in writing, please call your surgery and ask for a call back from the above.
Please view our complaints leaflet (PDF) for more information.
