Complaints Procedure

Occasionally things do not go as smoothly as we would like.  This is often due to matters beyond our control, such as emergencies. We offer a Practice Complaints Procedure to deal with comments, suggestions, and complaints about the service we provide. Our Practice Manager will give you further information. Our aim is to give you the highest possible standard of service and we try to deal swiftly with any problems that may occur.

This Practice adopts a ZERO TOLERANCE approach to violence and aggression.  Aggressive and violent behaviour is considered to be any personal, threatening or abusive language (cursing or swearing), gestures (including sexual), physical contact, derogatory sexual or racial remarks, shouting at any persons or applying force to any Practice property or the property of any persons within the Practice.  This includes people banging on desks or counters or shouting loudly in an intimidating manner.
