Complaints, Compliments and Patient Feedback
๐ฌ We aim to provide the best possible service to everyone who attends our practice.
We welcome your feedback, whether it is a concern, complaint, compliment, or suggestion. Your experience helps us improve the care we provide.
If something has not gone as expected, we will listen and work with you to resolve your concerns as quickly and supportively as possible.
As part of changes introduced across NHS Wales from April 2026, concerns are now handled under the ‘Listening to People’ approach, which focuses on openness, compassion, and learning.
