Patient Experience

Your Feedback
Shapes Our Care

We are committed to providing safe, respectful, and high-quality care. Your experience, every detail of it, helps us improve.

This is not an emergency service
If you or someone else is in danger, or you are experiencing a mental health crisis — do not use this complaints form.
Patients experiencing severe deterioration in mental health, thoughts of self-harm, acute psychiatric symptoms, or severe side effects should seek urgent medical support immediately. The complaints and feedback process is not the right pathway for urgent or emergency situations.
If your concern is not urgent — for example, a question about your prescription, an experience during a consultation, or a process issue — please continue to the feedback and complaints section below. All complaints are handled confidentially and will not affect your care.

We listen.
We act.

We also understand that sometimes things don't go as planned. If this happens, we want to hear from you so we can put things right and learn from your experience.
Complaints are encouraged to be made as soon as possible, and ideally within 6 months of the issue occurring, or becoming known to you.
You can:
person
Submit a complaint yourself
group
Ask someone to complain on your behalf (with your consent)

Make a complaint anonymously — please note this may limit our ability to investigate fully

Once you submit your complaint or feedback, here is what to expect. We handle every case fairly, impartially, and with respect for everyone involved.

Our written response

We aim to provide a full written response within 28 days. If more time is needed, we will keep you updated at least every 28 days. Our response will include:
  • A summary of your complaint
  • Who investigated it and how the investigation was carried out
  • What we found
  • Any actions or improvements we have made
  • How to request a review if you are unhappy with the outcome

If You Are Unhappy
With the Outcome

We have a clear three-stage process to ensure your complaint is heard at every level — and that you have access to independent review if needed.
01

Internal response

Our written response following investigation, including findings, actions taken, and how to escalate if needed.
02

Stage 2 — Review

If you are unhappy with our response, you can ask for a review. A senior member of staff not previously involved will look again at how your complaint was handled.
03

Stage 3 — Independent review

If you remain dissatisfied after our internal process has been completed, you may refer your complaint to an independent organisation (ISCAS or CEDR).
