We would like to know about your experience of using our healthcare services. The different ways to give us your feedback or get involved in developing our services are:
Compliments, concerns or complaints
The Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) provide a point of contact for patients, their families and their carers to offer feedback or ask questions about our services. You can pay a compliment, provide feedback about your care or ask for help if you have any queries or concerns. If you need to make a complaint they will put you in touch with the complaints team.
You can contact our Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) or you can complete a PALS enquiry form
