Complaints policy

Willow Health is dedicated to providing excellent specialist care. We have a Complaints Policy to ensure all complaints are handled as efficiently and effectively as possible.

We want to resolve a complaint as soon as possible. Our responsibility includes:

  • To provide an efficient, fair and structured way for handling complaints
  • To provide our patients with access to the complaints policy
  • To keep our patients informed as to the progress of their complaint
  • Review our complaints every 3 months to ensure we can improve our standard of patient care

 

If you are dissatisfied with your care, we would encourage you to contact the director, via email on info@willow-health.co.uk to discuss in the first instance. If you would like to make a formal complaint, you can do this in writing by emailing info@willow-health.co.uk. The complaint should detail your name and date of birth, the nature of complaint, how you would like to be contacted and the outcome you are looking for.

 

The complaint will be acknowledged within 3 working days.

 

A full investigation will be undertaken by the director of any complaint made under the complaints procedure.

 

A full response to the complaint will be provided within 20 working days, or a shorter period may be reasonable in the circumstances and will inform you of any action (if any) that is to be taken.

 

If the investigation takes longer, the director will advise you and we can come to an agreed timescale.

 

The director will supply a written copy of this complaints procedure to every service user, and to any representative of a service user if that person so requests. This will include the Health Improvement Scotland contact details below.

 

If the patient is dissatisfied with the outcome of the response to the complaint, they can contact Health Improvement Scotland at any time:
