Please post your positive comments on the NHS Choices website for Woodlands or Clerklands and let others know.

We operate a complaints policy in line with NHS complaints procedure.

If you have a complaint about the practice, you should ask to speak to the Patient Services Supervisor on duty in the first instance, as they may be able to help you with your issue. If they cannot fully solve your problem, you can write to our managers Vanessa Baker and Denise Comper via post to either surgery, or via email to sxicb-wsx.wcp.feedback@nhs.net.

We acknowledge complaints within three days, and aim to respond in full within 30 days, after we have investigated your complaint. If our investigation will take more than 30 days, we will let you know and keep you updated.

If you would like advocacy support when you are making a complaint, you can contact the Healthwatch West Sussex Independent Health Complaints Advocacy Service (IHCAS) which is a free and independent service available to patients. They can help even if you live in Surrey, as we are registered in West Sussex.
