What if I have a complaint about the service I received?

If you are unhappy with the service you have received, the first step would be to communicate this to your case manager. Then we would recommend for your complaint to be made in writing to our complaints manager.

If you have difficulty communicating in writing, please let our practice manager know. We are here to help to you.

How do you deal with the complaint?

When we receive your complaint, we speak to the clinician involved and find out what has gone wrong. Then we will work with you to see how it can be resolved. Most complaints are resolved in this way.
