3 We welcome patient feedback such as compliments, comments or concerns. We recognise there may be times when you are not satisfied with the service you have received. If you wish to make comments or raise concerns you should speak to the ward or department staff, or you can ask to speak to the ward matron or person in charge. It may not be possible for staff to help you at that time as the wards and departments can be very busy with patients. However, they will look into your comments or concerns and get back to you as soon as possible. If you do not feel comfortable speaking to staff on the ward or department you may wish to contact the Patient Experience Team. How can the Patient Experience Team help me? If you have a concern, the team will: listen to your comments or concerns try to resolve issues as quickly as possible liaise with relevant staff on your behalf work in partnership with the professionals involved to aid a quick resolution. If you wish to raise a concern on behalf of a relative or friend we will need their consent (permission) in order to respond to you. Consent can be given verbally if the patient is still in hospital.
4 If staff have been unable to resolve your concerns informally you can proceed to a formal complaint. If you wish to make a formal complaint, it should be made within 12 months of the event, or as soon as you become aware you have cause to complain. All formal complaints will be acknowledged within 3 working days of receipt and following a full investigation you will receive a written response (reply) from the Chief Executive or a member of the Executive Team. Can I make a complaint on behalf of a relative or friend? Yes. Anyone can make a complaint but if it is about the care or treatment of another person you will need to have his or her permission. If the person is unable to give consent, or has died, a suitable representative can make the complaint on his or her behalf. Will my care be affected if I make a complaint? No. Please be reassured your care will not be affected as a result of you making a complaint. Any information you give will be treated in confidence and with sensitivity. Information about your complaint is kept separate from your healthcare record.
5 Where is the Patient Experience Team (PET)? The office is based at the University Hospital of North Tees. It is near the lifts in the main tower block (see diagram below). The Patient Experience Team is available to discuss your concerns in person Monday Friday, 1.30 pm 4.30 pm.
