Patient Feedback Process
Glazier Medical Centre is committed to providing high quality service to all our patients. In order to do this, we need you to give us any compliments, comments or concerns about our service. We will listen to your concerns, treat them seriously, and learn from them so that we can continuously improve and make changes as required.
If you have any concerns, we encourage you or your family to first discuss them with the appropriate member of your healthcare team. The physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals who have been involved in your care are most familiar with your particular situation. Usually, they will be able to quickly resolve any issues you have.
If they are unable to resolve your concern, you may make a formal complaint, in writing, which will be directed to the management team.
We understand that family members and friends play important roles in advocating for our patients. If you wish to file a complaint on behalf of a family member or friend, please note that we must respect privacy and patient confidentiality under the Personal Health Information Protection Act, 2004. We will need to know that you are acting with the individual’s permission. A note, signed by the person concerned, will be needed unless you are the individual’s substitute decision maker in which case evidence of this will also be required.
