PLEASE RETURN THE COMPLETED FORM TO THE SURGERY
We take complaints very seriously. If you would like to make a complaint regarding the surgery or the services we offer, please contact our Practice Manager by telephone or, if you prefer, in writing.
Every effort will be made to answer your concerns as soon as possible - Please see our leaflet above for complaint guidance.
Friends & Family
In conjunction with suggestions from our Patient Participation Group and following national advice we have placed The Friends and Family Test cards for patients to complete at the entrance to the Surgery. This replaces the annual patient survey. It would help the Surgery and the Group if you could anonymously complete one of these. You also receive texts at the end of your consultant appointment by clicking the link on your text you can complete these results online.
