Complaints.
We are committed to providing the highest standard of service. However, we understand there may be times when you feel we haven't met your expectations.
If you wish to make a complaint, please refer to the attached leaflet for guidance. Complaint Leaflet 2026.pdf
You can submit a complaint directly to us by addressing it to Abigail, the Complaints Handler. Complaints can be made in writing, either by letter or by email to merridale.medicalcentre@nhs.net. Alternatively, you may make a complaint by telephone on 0116 216 6996, where one of the team leaders will take a statement and forward it to the complaints team.
We believe in addressing complaints promptly and fairly. While some matters may take longer to resolve, we will keep you informed throughout the process. Our aim is to listen to your concerns, offer a clear explanation, and discuss any steps that may need action.
