Code of practice for patients who wish to raise concerns
We place great emphasis on meeting and whenever possible, exceeding our patients’ expectations. We try to ensure that all patients are pleased with their experience of our services and we take any concerns a patient may have very seriously.
If you have a concern regarding any aspect of your care, please let us know. We will do all that we can to resolve your concern to your satisfaction promptly and professionally.
Our aim is to respond to your concerns in a caring and sensitive way.
If you choose to write to us to express your concern rather than raising it verbally, please write to us directly via letter or email.
We will acknowledge any concerns you raise in writing within three days, and we will also include a copy of this Code of Practice with our response.
We will investigate your concern and report back within ten working days of it being received. If we are unable to complete our investigations within ten working days for any reason, we will notify you, giving reasons for the delay and the likely period within which the investigation will be completed.
We will confirm the outcome of the investigation and any decisions made in writing.
We will keep proper and comprehensive records of any concerns or complaints received.
We will do all we can to resolve your issue, concern or complaint to your satisfaction. If, for any reason, you are not satisfied with the outcome or the procedure, we will advise you of other avenues open to you for raising concerns. These are:
