The course will enable delegates the ability to handle patient complaints independently and will cover topics such as:

• the common causes of complaints in practice,
• the responsibilities of admin teams in preventing and dealing with complaints and
• complaint handling procedures including; timescales, early resolution and steps to escalation.

We will also explore the steps to take when dealing with face-to-face complaints offering handy tips on communication techniques that can help prevent and resolve complaints and achieve a positive outcome.
