Suggestions, Comments and Complaints

Suggestions

We are always looking at ways to improve your experiences at the surgery. If you have any suggestions for improvements or you want to tell us something that we did really well, we would love to hear about them. You can do this either by talking to Mrs Helen Hallahan, Practice Manager, writing to the surgery or emailing Mrs Helen Hallahan, Practice Manager at helen.hallahan@nhs.net

Complaints Procedure

We make every effort to give the best service possible to everyone who attends our practice.

However, we are aware that things can go wrong resulting in a patient feeling that they have a genuine cause for complaint. If this is so, we would wish for the matter to be settled as quickly, and as amicably, as possible.

To pursue a complaint please contact the practice manager (Mrs Helen Hallahan) via our online form, alternatively in person at the practice, who will deal with your concerns appropriately. Further written information is available regarding the complaint’s procedure from reception.

While we constantly strive to provide a good, friendly and efficient service, we realise that occasionally things do not go as smoothly as we would like. You have the choice to complain either direct to the surgery or to NHS England.
