Listening to and involving people

Score: 2

During the last assessment in December 2025, we found that the service did have systems in place for people to share feedback and ideas, or raise complaints about their care, treatment and support. They did not always involve people in decisions about their care or tell them what had changed as a result.

Since the last assessment the practice had received 3 complaints. We saw some improvement, but 1 of the 3 complaints we reviewed had not been managed in line with the practice’s policy. It did not include information of how the complainant could escalate the complaint if they were dissatisfied with how the complaint had been handled.

Learning from complaints was not evident and staff were not able to identify changes made because of patient feedback, including complaints.
