Complaint Policy
It is our aim to always have satisfied patients, to meet your expectations of care and service, and to resolve any complaint as efficiently, effectively, and politely as possible. We take complaints very seriously; we investigate them promptly and fairly and take great care to protect your confidentiality.
We will never discriminate against patients who have made a complaint and we will be happy to listen and answer any questions you may have for us about your care and treatment. If you are not satisfied with any aspect of your care or our service, please let us know so we can address your concern promptly and find a solution as soon as possible. You can email or write to our Complaints Manager- Mrs Esther Ngozi Emenike-Okorie. If you would rather speak in person or on the phone, an appointment can be booked too.
Your written complaint will be acknowledged in writing within 3 working days and we will aim to provide a full response in writing as soon as the investigation is complete. We may need to speak to our clinicians if this involves them too.
If the Complaints Manager is unavailable, we will take details about the complaint and will pass it on as soon as they become available. If the complaint is regarding our Complaints Manager, you may direct your complaint to Dr Grace Hula, senior mentor and colleague. We will keep comprehensive and confidential records of your complaint, which will be stored securely and only be accessible to those who need to know about it.

When the investigation has been completed, you will be informed of the outcome in writing. If you would like, we will invite you to a meeting to discuss the results and any practical solutions that we can offer to you.
