We feel it is important that patients know how to make themselves heard if they are unhappy with something.
Complaints
The aim of the Practice is to ensure that we give the best possible service to all patients at all times. However, if you wish to comment on, or have any concern about, the service you receive from the doctors or staff, you may discuss this informally with the Practice Manager.
If you consider you have grounds for making a complaint please contact the Practice Manager she will endeavour to deal with your problem either in person or on the telephone.
If your complaint cannot be resolved to your satisfaction in this way please in the first instance write to the practice or email cwp.
This is in line with the NHS procedure for local resolution of complaints. If you remain un-happy with the response from the practice further steps are available to you.
If you feel you cannot raise your complaint with us you can choose to complain to NHS England (who have replaced the former Primary Care Trust).
