Patient Feedback and Complaints
We genuinely wish to hear from you. From time to time this practice invites patients to complete questionnaires on their views of the practice and how it can be improved.

Please contact the Practice Manager if you have any concerns.
Appointments can either be made by telephoning the practice or by booking online. If you are unable to attend your appointment, please call and notify the practice as soon as practical. We welcome new patients to the practice.
Our reception staff will endeavor to contact you if there is an unforeseen delay, or your doctor has been called away.
If you require additional time with your doctor to address several separate issues (e.g. pap smear, full skin check, immunisation), it is best to inform the receptionist when you make your appointment, as longer consultations are available for more complex problems or if you require separate appointments for each issue. Also, as a nurse may be required for some services, please let reception know, as this needs to be booked in conjunction with your doctor’s appointment.
Sometimes our reception staff may also need to ask you questions to ensure your medical needs are met in a timely manner. This is part of our triage process and is not meant to be intrusive. If reception staff require further clinical assistance, we will transfer you through to the nurse.
Our surgery will make every effort to give you an appointment with the doctor of your choice, however, this may not always be possible. In these cases, our staff will endeavor to give you an appointment with another doctor within the practice.
