Complaints Procedure
Feedback
Comments, Suggestions & Complaints
We welcome any feedback you may have about our website, the services we provide or general comments. Please send your suggestions to pharmacist using the details on our contact page, and we will be happy to hear from you.
We aim to offer the highest quality of services to all our customers and any feedback you give us can greatly help us to achieve a better service.
If you feel the issue can’t be resolved internally by speaking with us, we also operate a formal complaints procedure as part of the NHS system of dealing with complaints. Our procedure meets national criteria and our pharmacist can give you further information.
The NHS has its own complaints procedure, which is always the first step for any complaint. You can find detailed information about the NHS complaints procedure on NHS Choices.
You can also raise your concerns by getting in touch with regulatory bodies, such as the Care Quality Commission. Read more about this in other options for complaints.
