Code of Practice for Patient Complaints:
In this practice we take complaints very seriously and try to ensure that all patients are pleased with their experience of our service. When patients complain, they will be dealt with as courteously and promptly as possible so that the matter can be resolved as quickly as possible.
The procedure is based on these objectives:
• Our aim is to react to the complaint is the way in which we would want our own complaint handled. We learn from every mistake that we make and respond to patients concerns in a caring and sensitive way.
•If a patient complains on the telephone or at the reception desk, we will listen to the complaint and see if it can be resolved; the Practice Manager is always available to offer further support. If the Practice Manager is not available or out of the practice, then a member of the team will take some details and arrange a follow up telephone call or a meeting to suit the patient, as soon as possible.
• If the complaint is in writing, then this will be passed to the Practice Manager, who will deal with this and respond accordingly. At this time a copy of the Code of Practice will also be shared. Complaints will be responded to line with the complaints policy, the time allocated to achieve an early resolution (Stage 1) is within 10 working days from the date the concern was acknowledged (or explanation provided if delayed). Stage 2 investigations, we will aim to provide a full written response within 30 working days, unless clinical or external advice required. If delays occur this will be communicated and revised timescales will be agreed.
•For NHS patients the above timeframe for dealing with complaints will apply.
•As part of the Listening to People Framework, upon receipt of any complaint or concern, we will offer you the opportunity for an in-person Listening Discussion. This is your opportunity to explain what has happened and what matters most to you.
•We observe strict rules of confidentiality. If someone is complaining on your behalf we will require written authority from you that they can act on your behalf.
We act promptly on all complaints or expressions of dissatisfaction and aim to resolve all complaints in-house to the satisfaction of all concerned. All complaints about service levels are discussed at practice meetings with the aim of rectifying any problems and avoiding a recurrence. We keep a log of all complaints and analyse this for trends that show where changes to our services may be needed.
Complaining to your local Health Board
We hope that if you have a problem, you will use our practice complaints procedure. This will give us the best chance of putting right whatever has gone wrong and an opportunity to improve our practice. This does not affect your right to approach the NHS Wales if you feel you cannot raise
your complaint with us. If you would prefer not to deal with the practice directly, you can contract the complaints team at Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board;
