Dr. Jenny Clinic Complaints Policy
Policy Statement
At Dr. Jenny Clinic, we are committed to providing high-quality, patient-centred care. We view complaints and feedback as valuable opportunities to learn, improve and enhance the experience for all patients. If you are unhappy with any aspect of your care, we encourage you to let us know.
Purpose
This policy sets out how patients and others can raise concerns or complaints, how we respond to them and what to expect throughout the process. It complies with Regulation 16 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and ensures complaints are handled fairly, promptly and without prejudice.
Who Can Complain?
Anyone receiving or affected by care from the clinic may make a complaint. This includes patients, carers, family members or representatives acting with appropriate consent.
