Complaints

If you are unhappy about the level of care given to you by the doctor, nurse or any other member of staff, please do not hesitate to let us know. We have a complaints policy that allows you to express your grievance either in writing to the practice manager or contact her by telephone. Every grievance is handled with utmost importance.

Once you have made a complaint, the practice manager will contact you again within a week’s time once she has spoken to the staff member involved.

COMPLAINING ON BEHALF OF SOMEONE ELSE,

Please note that Holyhead Primary Healthcare Centre keeps strictly to the rules of medical confidentiality. If you are complaining on behalf of someone else, the practice needs to know that you have their permission to do so. A note signed by the person concerned will be required, unless they are incapable of providing this due to illness or disability.
