Listening to Patients

How would you rate our Service?

We are a practice that genuinely listens and we are always interested to hear from patients about their experience of our services. The local channels of communication include verbal and written feedback, the Friends & Family Test & Patient Group Meetings.

When there are concerns that are not resolved, patients can opt to use our formal complaints procedure. The issue will then be thoroughly investigated and a full response provided. Our services are also monitored by the Care Quality Commission and our commissioners - North Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board (ICB).

Friends & Family Test

Friends & Family Test 

When you receive care or treatment within the NHS, you can fill out a short questionnaire to give us feedback that will help to improve local services for everyone.

It gives you a chance to tell us what you think about your experience… good or bad. You can explain your answer and tell us how we can improve things.

We will look at all feedback and use it to make decisions that will make local services better for local people.

It is open to all patients, whatever your age or healthcare needs. You won’t have to give your name or contact details so our staff won’t know the comments came from you.

We believe that, if our services are good enough for you and your family and friends, then they’ll be good for everyone. So come on and put US to the test by telling us what you think.

Compliments or Concerns

The views and concerns of our patients are very important to us. If anyone has a  concern, our aim is to ensure that it is dealt-with quickly and resolved to everyone's satisfaction.

Practice Complaints Procedure

If patients do have any concerns, in the first instance they should get in touch with a member of our reception team who will try to help sort the matter out for you. If the matter remains unresolved you can ask to speak to our Assistant Practice Manager Victoria Carnaby.

If you feel it may be better to make a written complaint you may write to us about it. If you are complaining on behalf of someone you MUST also send a signed and dated consent letter which clearly indicates that the patient authorises you to handle the complaint on their behalf.

If you are not happy with the Practice response to your complaint you can contact NHS England or the Health Service Ombudsman as a last resort
