How to make a complaint
The staff in the practice would very much like to hear the comments of the patients. We cannot improve unless we know what is wrong! (It is also helpful to know what things you think we are doing well!). Please speak to us about any problems or complaints.
Mrs Jacqueline Crooke is our Complaints Officer.
If you have a complaint about any aspect of your care or contact with our practice, please ask to see our complaints procedure. To do this would not affect your statutory rights.
