Complaints / Suggestions
We are dedicated to providing you with the best possible care. We are delighted to receive comments about good service and will ensure that any member of staff identified is made aware of the comments made. We are aware that things do sometimes go wrong and are committed to ensuring that any shortfalls are rectified as soon as possible.
If you wish to make a complaint of a minor nature, please ask to speak to the Practice Manager, who will deal with the matter in confidence. If you consider the complaint to be more serious, please put it in writing (letter or email) and address it to the Practice Manager, who will deal with it according to our procedure.
