You may want to complain about an individual doctor or health care professional, for example, because you think they acted unprofessionally or are a danger to other patients. Most health care professionals are a member of a professional organisation. There are different organisations for different professions. For example, the General Medical Council for doctors and the Nursing and Midwifery Council for nurses, midwives and health visitors.
These organisations have the power to stop a health care professional from treating patients but will normally investigate only more serious complaints. Less serious complaints (for example rudeness) would normally be investigated through internal disciplinary procedures.
