We make every effort to give the best service possible to everyone who attends our practice.

We are continually looking to turn our patients’ feedback into real improvements in the services we provide. We use it to focus on the things that matter most to our patients, carers and their families. We would like to hear from you if you have a suggestion on how we can do things better to improve our patients’ experiences.

To pursue a complaint please contact Sue Altoft, practice manager and she will deal with your concerns appropriately. Further written information is available on the complaints procedure from reception.
