Comments & Complaints

 

BACK TO MAIN INDEX

 

We are always here to listen and learn and that is why we value your opinion.  There are times when we may not have lived up to your expectations, have made a mistake or not provided the best possible service,  and it is important that you share this with us.  

Many issues can be resolved quickly by speaking directly to the staff at the place where you received care or accessed a service.

 

Complaints Procedure

The Practice offers a complaints procedure as part of the NHS system for dealing with complaints about the service we provide.  We will attempt to resolve problems swiftly and take action appropriately if we do not achieve the high standards for which we aim.

To make a complaint, please contact the Practice Manager in writing to Swanscombe Health Centre, Southfleet Road, Swanscombe, Kent DA10 0BF
