Making a complaint
The doctors and staff at this practice aim to provide the best possible service to all of our patients. However, if you have any cause to complain or have any suggestion; please put them in writing to the Practice Manager to Stuart Crescent Medical Practice, 8 Stuart Crescent, London, N22 5NJ.
How to complain
It is best to tell a member of staff about any concerns or problems as soon as they arise so that we can try and sort them out. If, despite this, you still wish to make a complaint, please let us have the details of your complaint by writing to the Practice Manager at Stuart Crescent Medical Practice as soon as possible so that we can investigate what happened. It helps if you can provide us with as full a recollection of events as possible.
You can ask for an appointment with the Practice Manager in order to discuss your concerns. They will explain the complaints procedure and make sure that your complaints are dealt with promptly.
What we will do
We will contact within three working days of receiving your complaint and discuss the time scales for a response. We will aim to offer you an explanation as to what happened and even a meeting to discuss with the people involved.
