- If your complaint is verbal, we try to respond immediately or at least within 24 hours.
- If your complaint is in writing, the chief nurse will acknowledge receipt within 2 working days. It may sometimes be possible to answer the complaint within this initial response.
- We register the complaint onto our Datix complaints database, alert any members of staff involved and commence our investigation.
- After investigation into the complaint, you will normally be sent a full reply within 20 working days with a full explanation of the results and any details of any action taken as consequence. It can take time to establish the facts and circumstances. If this is likely to take longer than 20 working days the chief nurse will advise you of this.
- We meet with any staff concerned and take any remedial action as might be appropriate.
