Complaints
Talk to us
Every patient has the right to make a complaint about the treatment or care they have received at The Northolme Practice.
We understand that we may not always get everything right and, by telling us about the problem you have encountered, we will be able to improve our services and patient experience.
Who to talk to
Most complaints can be resolved at a local level. Please speak to a member of staff if you have a concern and they will assist you where possible. Alternatively, ask to speak to the complaints manager, Hassan Ibrahim (Practice Manager), but note this may need to be a booked appointment.
A complaint can be made verbally or in writing. A complaints form is available from reception. Additionally, you can complain via email to:
wyicb-cal.northolme-patients@nhs.net
If for any reason you do not want to speak to a member of our staff, then you can request that the Integrated Care Board (ICB) investigates your complaint. They will contact us on your behalf:
Complaints Team, West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board, White Rose House West Parade, Wakefield, WF1 1LT
01924 552 150
wyicb.complaints@nhs.net
Time frames for complaints
The time constraint on bringing a complaint is 12 months from the occurrence giving rise to the complaint, or 12 months from the time you become aware of the matter about which you wish to complain.
The complaints manager will respond to you within three business days to acknowledge your complaint.
We will aim to investigate and provide you with the findings as soon as we can and will provide regular updates regarding the investigation of your complaint.
Investigating complaints
We will investigate all complaints effectively and in conjunction with extant legislation and guidance.
Confidentiality
We will ensure that all complaints are investigated with the utmost confidentiality and that any documents are held separately from the patient’s healthcare record.
Third party complaints
We allow third parties to make a complaint on behalf of a patient. The patient must provide consent for them to do so. A third-party patient complaint form is available from reception.
Final response
We will issue a final formal response to all complainants which will provide full details and the outcome of the complaint. We will liaise with you about the progress of any complaint.
