Complaints

Our hospitals are committed to providing safe and compassionate care

We want all our patients, their family members and carers to have a good experience while they use our hospitals and services. We welcome feedback if you feel that the service you have received has not lived up to our high standards. 

We ask that you speak to the staff at your clinic, department or ward, or our Patient Advice and Liaison Service, before making a complaint as this is the fastest way to resolve any issues.
