We are continually looking to turn patient feedback into real improvements in the services we provide. We use it to focus on the things that matter most to our patients, carers and their families.
Giving feedback
To provide feedback:
- take part in the Friends and Family Test
- leave a review on the NHS website
- phone us on Cardinal Medical Practice (Deben Road) 01473 741 349 or Norwich Road (Branch site) or Chesterfield Drive (Branch site)
Making a complaint
We are aware that things can go wrong resulting in you feeling that you have a genuine cause for complaint. If this is so, we would wish for the matter to be settled as quickly, and as amicably, as possible.
Complaints may be made:
- In person/phone – ask to speak to a senior member of staff.
- In writing – some complaints may be easier to explain in writing. You can email cardinal.medicalpractice@nhs.net or print off the Complaints form (PDF) and return to any of our three sites.
If you wish to make a complaint on behalf of a family member or friend, we will need written consent from the patient to be able to deal with your concerns. Please print off the Third Party Consent form and return to any of our three sites.
If you feel you are dissatisfied with the way your complaint has been dealt with you can contact:
