How to make a complaint

The doctors and staff at this practice are committed to providing high quality healthcare and services to patients. If you have a complaint or concern about the service you have received from the practice, please do let us know. We operate a complaints procedure as part of the NHS system for dealing with complaints. The practice complaints procedure meets national criteria.

  • How to complain

    It is best to tell a member of staff about any concerns or problems as soon as they arise and we will try and sort them out. We aim to deal with your complaint in a way that is straightforward and reaches an amicable conclusion.

    If you wish to make a complaint, please let us have details of your complaint in writing via post to the Practice, 89 Clapham High Street, SW4 7DB, via e-mail to selicb.claphamfamily@nhs.net or hand the letter of complaint to a member of the Reception Team as soon as possible so we can find out what happened. It helps us if you can give us as full details as possible about your complaint.

    You need to make your complaint within 12 months of the incident that caused the problem OR within 12 months of discovering that you have a problem relating to a specific incident.

  • What we will do

    We will contact you about your complaint within three working days and discuss with you the best way to investigate it, including the time scales for a reply. We aim to offer you an explanation within that timeframe. We will look into your complaint to:

    • Find out what happened and what went wrong
    • Apologise where this is appropriate
    • Identify what we can do to make sure the problem does not happen again

  • Complaining on behalf of someone else

    Medical records are protected by the Data Protection act 1998. If you are complaining on behalf of someone else, we need to know that you have their permission to do so. A note signed by the person concerned will be needed unless they are incapable (i.e. due to illness) of providing this.
