Complaints scheme

We strive to provide good service for you as a patient, this applies to both our service and our medically substantive care. If, despite this, you are not satisfied with our service, we will be happy to discuss this with you. If we are aware of your dissatisfaction, we can try to solve it together with you. To do so, you can call the practice or fill in the form below.

In the unlikely event that you do not come to an agreement with us, you can discuss your complaint with an independent and impartial complaints officer. The complaints officer will work with you and the practice's complaints committee to find a solution to your complaint or problem and will try to mediate. The complaints officer does not take sides and supports you throughout the process. You can come here with your questions, get advice and, if necessary, help with formulating the complaint in writing. In addition, everything you tell the complaints officer and the complaints committee is confidential.

For independent mediation, the practice is affiliated to DOKh. The practice's internal complaints committee consists of Ms T. Groot (GP) and Ms van Diemen (Practice Manager). Extensive information on the complaints procedure and regulations can be downloaded at www.DOKh.nl

Often mediation through a complaints officer is sufficient to resolve the complaint and restore the relationship between the doctor and the patient. Unfortunately, this is always the case. If the complaints procedure continues, from then on it is called a dispute. The practice is also affiliated with the DOKh foundation for disputes. DOKh's dispute body is recognised by VWS. More information about the disputes committee is here find.
