Complaints

Our hospitals are committed to providing safe and compassionate care

We want all our patients, their family members and carers to have a good experience while they use our hospitals and services. We welcome feedback if you feel that the service you have received has not lived up to our high standards. 

We ask that you speak to the staff at your clinic, department or ward, or our Patient Advice and Liaison Service, before making a complaint as this is the fastest way to resolve any issues.

Taking your complaint further

The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman investigates complaints from patients or their relatives if they receive poor service from government departments and other public bodies, including the NHS.

The NHS Complaints Advocacy Service offers free independent and confidential advice to help people make a complaint or express a concern about the trust or any other NHS service. They can provide help to make a complaint, and give advice about using the complaints system. They can offer support to help you through the complaints process.
