We keep strictly to the rules of medical confidentiality. If you are not the patient, but are complaining on their behalf, you must have their written permission to do so. A signed authority by the person concerned will be needed, unless they are incapable (because of illness or infirmity) of providing this.

We will acknowledge receipt of your complaint within 2 working days and aim to have fully investigated within 28 working days from the date it was received. If we expect it to take longer, we will explain the reason for the delay and tell you when we expect to finish. When we consider your complaint, we will investigate the circumstances and make it possible for you to discuss the problem with those concerned. We will ensure that you receive an apology if this is appropriate and take steps to make sure any problem does not arise again. You will receive a final letter setting out the result of any practice investigations
