Complaints
We operate a practice complaints procedure and our system meets national criteria. Our Practice manager, Lynne Neal, will give you further information. A copy of the complaints procedure is available from reception. Our aim is to give you the highest possible standard of care and we try to deal swiftly with any problems that may occur.
