How You Can Make A Complaint or Comment

We operate a practice complaints procedure for dealing with complaints. This system meets national criteria.

If you wish to make a complaint, then you can approach any member of the practice team. We would aim to deal with any problem both quickly and efficiently. You will receive an acknowledgement within two working days and an explanation within 10 working days.

It would be helpful if you could inform us of any problems as soon as possible after the incident has taken place and at the latest within 12 months.

In investigating your complaint, we aim to

● Find out what happened and what went wrong.
● Enable you, if you would like, to discuss the problem with those concerned.
● Ensure you receive an apology, if appropriate.
● Try to prevent the same thing happening in the future.

If you are complaining on behalf of someone else and in order to maintain patient confidentiality, we will require to know that you have their permission to do so.

If you would prefer to talk to someone who is not involved you can telephone (01463) 706894 or write to the Complaints Department, NHS Highland, PO Box 5713, Inverness, IV1 9AQ. You will be given a prompt reply within 4 weeks of them receiving your complaint. Where there are good reasons why this cannot be achieved, you will be kept informed of progress.

If you would like to make a suggestion that you feel could improve the service we offer to patients, please let us know by using the prescription/suggestion box, or by discussing with a member of staff.
