If you are acting on behalf of a patient who wishes to make a complaint about the practice, written consent must be provided by the patient on whose behalf the complaint is being lodged.
If the complaint is made in writing, the complaint will be recorded as such and you will be invited to lodge an official complaint, laying out in detail the circumstances of the complaint. This will allow us to deal with the complaint in a recorded and structured manner.
Dr Chohan will record the relevant information on a complaint form. The matter will be fully investigated and a report or an acknowledgement will be supplied to you within two working days.
You will be informed in writing of the stages of the investigation and any action taken.
A full response will typically be made within 20 working days of receipt of the complaint, or where the investigation is still in progress, you will be sent a letter explaining the reason for the delay and a full response will be made within five days of a conclusion being reached.
