Most complaints can be resolved at a local level. Please speak to a member of staff if you have a complaint; all of our staff are trained to handle complaints affectively. Alternatively, ask to speak to the Practice Manager, who is also the Complaints Administrator, either by telephone or face to face.
A complaint can be made verbally or in writing. A Complaints Form is available from reception. Additionally, you can complain via email to ggc.gp87517clinical@nhs.scot
