COMMENTS & COMPLAINTS

How to raise a concern or make a complaint

If you have any concerns or would like to complain, we’d like to try to resolve these as soon as possible.

Some people may not feel well enough to make a complaint or raise a concern, or may be unsure what to expect. Please feel free to bring a friend or relative with you to talk about your concerns or you could ask them to help you put your concerns in writing. Alternatively, we can arrange for a member of staff to help, or give you details of an independent advocacy service.

Concerns or complaints about the care we provide to patients, carers and their families

You can let us know about the issue by talking to any member of staff, or by putting your concerns in writing and handing it to a member of staff.
