Medvivo takes great pride in the quality of services we deliver. However we recognise that occasionally things do not go according to plan.
We value your comments and would like to hear from you when things go wrong - and right! Your feedback gives us an opportunity to review how we do things and to look at what we can do to make improvements.
In the first instance we would encourage you to discuss your complaint with a member of staff at the time so that immediate action can be taken to address your concern.
If you prefer not to raise your complaint with the staff involved in your care, please get in touch with us by either calling 0800 6444 200, emailing mg.quality@nhs.net or writing to the following address:

Please note: Our usual process is to provide complainants with a full response regarding their concerns within 25 working days. Due to a declared ongoing critical internal incident (since 4th August 2022), which is impacting our IT clinical systems, the investigation process will be delayed and it may be sometime before we are able to provide complainants with investigation outcomes. Please be reassured that all complaints will continue to be given the attention they deserve and any initial learning/improvements will be identified and implemented. When we are in a position to investigate the matter fully, we will do so and inform complainants of any further findings, should they wish to receive them. We thank our patients and their representatives for bearing with us whilst the critical incident is being resolved.
