SELF CARE PORTAL Complaints Home / Policies / Complaints If you have a complaint or concern about the service you have received from the doctors or any of the staff working in this practice, please let us know. We operate a practice complaints procedure as part of an NHS system for dealing with complaints. Our complaints system meets national criteria. How to complain Complaint Form We hope that most problems can be sorted out easily and quickly, often at the time they arise and with the person concerned. If this is not possible and you wish to make a complaint please inform us as soon as possible – ideally within a matter of days or, at most, a few weeks. This will enable us to establish what happened more easily. If this is not possible please let us have details of your complaint: Within 6 months of the incident that caused the problem, or within 6 months of discovering that you have a problem (provided that this is within 12 months of the incident). Complaints should be addressed to the Patient Liaison Team, The Roxton Practice, Pilgrim Primary Care Centre, Pelham Road, Immingham, DN40 1JW (Tel: 01469 572058). They will explain the complaints procedure to you and will ensure that your concerns are dealt with promptly. It will be a great help if you are as specific as possible about your complaint. What shall we do? We shall acknowledge your complaint within three working days and aim to have investigated your complaint within twenty five working days. We shall then be in a position to offer you an explanation, or a meeting with the people involved. On investigation we shall aim to: Establish what happened and what went wrong; Make it possible for you to discuss the problem with those concerned; Make sure you receive an apology, where this is appropriate; Identify what we can do to avoid the problem recurring.
