Local Resolution

  • The Trust has a designated Complaints Manager to deal with formal complaints.

  • You can write to us, ring us, or call into the Information Centre.

  • If your complaint is detailed, please write it down so you can recall all the information and we can be sure that we understand all your concerns.

  • If it is appropriate, and you agree, we can arrange for you to meet and discuss your concerns with the medical and nursing staff who have been involved in your care. This can often help to resolve a complaint quickly.

  • We try to investigate and respond to complaints within 25 working days. In complex cases, this might take a little longer.

  • Addenbrooke's Chief Executive sees every complaint made and every response given. He will send you a covering letter explaining other actions you can take if you are not happy with the outcome of your complaint.

  • If you are still dissatisfied and you feel that we have not responded adequately to your concerns, the Complaints Manager will undertake further investigations on your behalf.

  • Following this, if you still do not feel that your complaint has been fully dealt with, you can request an Independent Review.
