Like all GP practices, we work very hard to provide the very best care and service that we can. Indeed, every day hundreds of entirely satisfactory interactions with patients, relatives and other services take place. However, we must also acknowledge that healthcare is extremely complex and that things can occasionally go wrong. Should this be the case, this leaflet will tell you how you can make a complaint to the practice.
