COMPLAINTS
If something goes wrong
Tell us first. Most things are put right quickly, and we would rather hear about them.
Stage one: tell us
Email info@northwest-health.co.uk or write to the Registered Manager at 3–4 Dollywaggon Way, Bamber Bridge, Preston PR5 6EW. We acknowledge complaints within three working days and aim to give a full written response within twenty working days. If it will take longer, we tell you why.
Stage two: internal review
If you are not satisfied, ask for the complaint to be reviewed by a director not involved in your care. We respond within twenty working days.
If you are still unhappy
We will tell you in our final response what further options are open to you. You can also raise concerns with the Care Quality Commission, or with the General Medical Council if your concern is about a doctor.
Other routes
The Care Quality Commission does not investigate individual complaints, but it wants to know about concerns and you can contact it at any time. Concerns about a doctor's fitness to practise can be raised with the General Medical Council. Complaints about the conduct of a scan itself may also be raised with the imaging provider, and we will help you do that.
