IF A PROBLEM ARISES

While we aim to deliver the highest possible standard of care, we do realise that there may be times when you are unhappy with a particular aspect of the service we provide. We would like to hear about it.

In most instances your Doctor or Nursing Unit Manager will be able to assist you, so tell them about your problem first.

Should this be unsatisfactory, you should request to see either the Director of Nursing or the Chief Executive Officer. They will investigate your complaint and advise you of your options for further actions should you still be dissatisfied.
