Want to make a complaint?

Every patient has the right to make a complaint about the treatment or care they have received at Meopham Medical Centre.

We understand that we may not always get everything right and by telling us about the problem you have encountered, we will be able to improve our services and patient experience.

If you wish to make a complaint, please complete this form. The Practice Manager will respond to you within three business days to acknowledge your complaint.

We aim to provide a full written response  within 25 working days. If we are unable to meet this timescale, we will contact you to explain the reason for the delay and provide an updated response date.

We will ensure that all complaints are investigated with the utmost confidentiality and that any documents are held separately from the patient’s healthcare record.

If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of your complaint from either Integrated Care Board (ICB) or this organisation, then you have the right to approach the Parliamentary Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) at:
