Complaints, Compliments, Comments and Suggestions

As a Practice we all try hard to provide the best possible service for our patients with the resources available. If you are dissatisfied with any of our services, please speak to Lindsey Stott, Patient Services Manager in the first instance.

If you are dissatisfied with the response, please put your complaint in writing, addressed to the Executive Partner or the Practice Business Manager.  We will look into your complaint and send you a written acknowledgement within three working days. Once your complaint has been investigated, we will then write to you again with an explanation or suggest a meeting.

We feel it is much better for grievances to be tackled as soon as possible and, ideally, directly between the parties involved, as misunderstandings can be more readily resolved in this way.

If you don’t want to make a complaint to the practice, you can contact the commissioner of the service, NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board:
