Complaints and Compliments

We continually strive for excellence in healthcare and are keen to know how you think we can improve our service. We would welcome your comments as part the NHS Friends and Family Test: a quick and anonymous way for patients to give opinions on the care and treatment they receive.

You can comment without providing your name and we will use the feedback to plan improvements to our services. If you would like to comment on how likely you are to recommend Davyhulme Medical Centre, please complete the short online survey.

For further information please see NHS information on the Friends and Family Test.

Complaints

We always try to provide the best services possible, but there may be times when you feel this has not happened. We encourage our patients to raise issues or suggestions so that we may learn and improve our services. If you do wish to make a complaint, please either write to our Patient Services Manager or contact via telephone on 0161 748 5559 and we will do our best to provide you with a quick and thorough response which answers your concerns properly. Alternatively, please ask one of the reception team if you can make an appointment to discuss your concerns with the Patient Services Manager.

Please view our Complaints Leaflet here.
