Compliments and Complaints

We try to achieve a high standard of services, and are always looking for ways to improve them, but we recognise that at times we could do better and that sometimes things go wrong. If you have a comment or complaint we want to hear about it. Firstly, please raise your concerns with a member of staff involved in your care or close to the cause for concern. They are usually best placed to discuss things and resolve the issue speedily.

If you are unhappy with the way that member of staff responded to your comment or complaint, or if you would prefer to discuss the matter with someone else, please contact our Patient Relations and Complaint Service. A member of staff there can guide you through the process of making a complaint and can also help you find other sources of help and information.
