Anyone can make a complaint about the service they have received. We also accept complaints from our stakeholders such as GPs.
All complaints are treated confidentially and making a complaint will not affect the service that you receive from us. We take feedback seriously and aim to resolve complaints quickly and fairly.
Our Quality Team will investigate your complaint. This may include reviewing records of your contact with us (including calls and text messages), having conversations with staff, and seeking advice from senior clinicians. We will contact you to let you know the outcome of our investigation. We will provide an explanation of what happened, what may have gone wrong, and what we are doing to improve our service. We aim to complete our investigation and respond to you within 30 working days. If we are unable to respond in that time frame, we will let you know the reason and when you can expect to hear from us.
