Comments & Complaints
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 and she will deal with your concerns appropriately. Alternatively, please complete the 'Feedback and Complaints Form' by following the link below and drop off at the surgery. Further written information is available on the complaints procedure from reception or please see the below link.

If you remain unhappy after everything has been done to try to resolve your concern or complaint you have the right to approach the Ombudsman.
