Complaints procedure

Stage One:

Your complaint will be automatically directed to the right department. Stage one complaints are dealt with by the relevant service head or their representative. Your complaint will be acknowledged within five working days and we aim to respond within 28 working days.

Some complaints can be resolved as an early resolution by discussing it with a member of staff, such as the care navigation manager or deputy practice manager.

Some complaints can be complicated and may take longer to resolve. If we cannot give a full reply within the stated period, we will let you know why, what actions are being taken, and give you an expected date when we can give you an answer.

Stage two:

If you are not happy with the response at stage one, you can ask for the complaint to be reviewed by NHS ENGLAND, Telephone 0300 311 22 33 or Email englandcontactus@nhs.net
This will direct you to a customer contact Centre which will deal with your concerns and agree actions to resolve them. You can also write to them at:
