Procedure
The practice manager will look at your complaint and decide how best to resolve it.
This may mean one or more of the following:
- A verbal explanation
- A written reply
- A meeting with the practice manager
- A meeting with a doctor
We will try to address your concerns with a full explanation and discuss any action which could follow.
It will be our aim to answer all your questions. If you have already had a response to your complaint, the next step is to either request a further response from the practice to address your concerns or attend a meeting to try and achieve a resolution.
If, following a second response or meeting, a resolution has not been achieved, you can approach the Ombudsman to request that they investigate the complaint.
Alternatively, if you do not wish to make your complaint directly to the practice, you should contact NHS England directly, as follows:
