A Letter

[jennyjoan]

Have any of you felt the need or have done so - to write a personal letter to your GP querying a "matter".

[jennyjoan]

thanks Mamy - will use that. great.

[dannyk13]

I would be grateful if you could?

[jennyjoan]

that's good too Danny and I can use that in another paragraph. Ta All. Not going to peruse anymore of this letter.

[jennyjoan]

If I don't get satisfactory reply from my doctor can I take it further ie Ombudsman etc.

[dannyk13]

I would start with a complaint to the Practice Manager before doing anything as drastic as contacting the ombudsman(not sure there is one for medical matters).Secondly you could complain to the BMA.

I realise this refers to England, but I'm sure the advice is much the same.

[jennyjoan]

right mamy - had a nosey there - will keep that info safe somewhere. Ta again.

[Peter Pedant]

no a letter Jay jay

not an email - and certainly dont read to a receptionist unles you want the local post master to know all about your internal complaints

only one point ( not a shopping list )

one side of paper

say what you think is wrong and at the end state what you want to happen

[jennyjoan]

I've done that Peter - thank you.
