Such requests should be made through the practice manager and may be subject to an administration charge.

Complaints

Customer service form

We make every effort to give the best service possible to everyone.

If you wish to make a complaint, please ask to speak to the practice manager, who will deal with your concerns appropriately.

Violence Policy

We operate a zero tolerance policy with regard to violence and abuse and the practice has the right to remove violent patients from the list with immediate effect in order to safeguard practice staff, patients and other persons. Violence in this context includes actual or threatened physical violence or verbal abuse which leads to fear for a person’s safety. In this situation we will notify the patient in writing of their removal from the list and record in the patient’s medical records the fact of the removal and the circumstances leading to it.
