Complaints

We hope that most concerns can be sorted out easily and quickly often at the time they arise and with the person concerned, if your concerns cannot be resolved in this way and you wish to make a complaint you or someone nominated by you can either write to the practice manager setting out the nature of your complaint, or supply details over the telephone or in person.

  • Mrs Sarah Arnold, Practice Manager or Mrs Carol Gallichan, Assistant Practice Manager, Watership Down Health, Kingsclere Health Centre, Kingsclere, Berkshire, RG20 5QX.
  • Mrs S Altmeyer-Ennis, Practice Business Manager, or Miss Emily Clifton, Assistant Practice Manager, Watership Down Health, Overton Surgery, Station Road, Overton, RG25 3DU

If you are complaining on behalf of someone else we may need their written consent to discuss the matter with you.

When we receive details of the complaint we will send you a written acknowledgement within three working days and, propose a timeframe within which we should be able to investigate your complaint fully. We will then be in a position to offer an explanation or arrange a meeting if requested.
