The Fairfields Practice

Complaints and Compliments

Practice Complaints Procedure

Patient feedback is important to us as it helps us to improve the service we provide to patients. We take patient complaints seriously and will attempt to address your concerns to your satisfaction.

 

How do I make a complaint?

If you wish to complain please contact the Practice Manager (Helen Davies) either in person, by phone or in writing:

Tel: 0115 942 4352

Address: Fairfields Practice, Mary Potter Centre, Gregory Boulevard, Nottingham, NG7 5HY

If you are complaining on behalf of someone else, the practice needs to know that you have their permission to do so.

 

What Happens Next?

The complaint will be acknowledged within 3 working days.  The practice will respond, after investigation, within the timeframe specified to you at the acknowledgement stage of the process.  Some complaints may take longer to address but you will be informed of a response time.  If this cannot be met, the practice will keep you informed.

 

Please be assured making a complaint will not adversely affect your ongoing healthcare at the practice.  We will deal with you fairly, compassionately and will endeavour to resolve the situation to a satisfactory conclusion.

 

Wherever possible, we aim to learn from complaints and take action to avoid similar occurrences. 

 

How do I complain to someone Independent?
