Complaints Procedure

At L'eto Clinic, we are committed to providing high-quality care in a professional and respectful environment. If something hasn’t met your expectations, we encourage you to share your concerns so we can address them promptly and fairly.

Our Approach to Complaints

We treat every complaint seriously and aim to resolve any issues quickly, courteously, and fairly. Complaints help us to improve our service and ensure the same issues do not happen again.

How to Make a Complaint

You can make a complaint in the following ways:

  • Using our online form: The quickest way to submit a complaint is by filling out our online form.
  • In person or over the phone: Please speak to a member of our team or call us. A member of our team will fill in a complaint form on your behalf to ensure all the relevant details are recorded correctly.

What Happens Next

Step One: Acknowledgement We will acknowledge your complaint in writing and include a copy of this policy within one working day of receiving it.

Step Two: Assessment and Investigation Your complaint will be assessed and directed to the appropriate person:

  • General service or behaviour concerns may be resolved directly by our practice staff or contact centre team.
  • Issues requiring further investigation will be referred to the Practice Manager.
  • Complaints about clinical care will be referred to the treating clinician.

Step Three: Our Response We aim to investigate and respond to complaints within ten working days. If we need more time, we will keep you informed and let you know when to expect a full response.

Step Four: Resolution After reviewing and investigating your complaint, we will send you a written explanation of the outcome and any steps taken to address the issue.

Record Keeping

We keep a secure record of all complaints in line with data protection regulations. Records are retained for ten years after a complaint is closed and are then securely deleted.
