Practice Complaints and Procedure
If you have a complaint about the service you have received from any member of staff working in this practice, please let us know. The practice operates a Complaints Procedure as part of the NHS system for dealing with complaints. Our complaints system meets national criteria.
Note: If you make a complaint it is practice policy to ensure you are not discriminated against, or subjected to any negative effect on your care, treatment or support.
How to make a complaint
In the first instance please discuss your complaint with the team on site, who will try to resolve the issue and offer you further advice on the complaints procedure. If your concern cannot be resolved immediately, it will be reviewed by our site supervisors, who are directed by the Patient Experience Manager Ciara Sachdeva, who is based at Larwood Surgery.

The Practice will acknowledge your complaint within three working days and formulate a plan with you of how your complaint will be addressed.
When the practice looks into your complaint it aims to:
- Ascertain the full circumstances of the complaint
- Offer you the opportunity to discuss the problem with those concerned, if you would like this
- Make sure you receive an apology, where this is appropriate
- Identify what the practice can do to make sure the problem does not happen again
Complaints should ideally be made within 12 months of the incident.
Complaining on Behalf of Someone Else
Please note that Larwood Health Partnership keep strictly to the rules of medical confidentiality. If you are complaining on behalf of someone else, the practice needs to know that you have their permission to do so. A note signed by the person concerned will be required, unless they are incapable of providing this due to illness or disability.

The Practice Management Team hope that if you have a problem you will use the Practice Complaints Procedure.
