Complaints, Compliments and Patient Feedback
We welcome your feedback.
We aim to provide the best possible service to everyone who attends our practice.
Your feedback helps us understand what we are doing well and where we can improve. You can use this page to find out how to send us a complaint, compliment, comment, concern, or suggestion.
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.
