Feedback, Suggestions & Complaints

We are always looking to improve our services. You can help us to do this by letting us know how we are doing.

Have you had a positive experience at our surgery recently?

Is there anything you that you would like to suggest that could have improved your visit?

Is there something about your experience that you would like to speak to a member of the team about?

 

We encourage all patients to contact us should you wish to make a comment, suggestion or complaint (because we don’t always get things right), please write or ask to speak to the management team at the surgery. We have our complaints procedure on display at both sites for your information. 

 

If you would like to leave a review for the practice, you can use the NHS choices website below.
