Patient Notice

Following the landlords’ decision to sell the current building, a review of suitable future premises options for Billinge Medical Practice has now been completed and a proposal approved to relocate practice services to the first floor of Garswood Health Centre.

Garswood Health Centre is a high standard, purpose-built facility, and this relocation will enable Billinge Medical Practice to continue to provide high levels of service for patients.

We have written to patients to confirm this decision and to outline next steps. We remain committed to working with NHS Cheshire and Merseyside to ensure that patients are engaged and supported in relation to this relocation.

We would like to thank patients for their understanding during this process.

For more information, please the Patient Letter and FAQs.

Making a complaint

Whilst every effort is made to provide you with good care, we realise we may on occasion, inadvertently, fall short of the standard you may expect. If you wish any issues to be addressed, in the first instance please telephone and ask to speak to one of the Supervisors who will be pleased to assist you. If you are not satisfied and you want to write in, please write to Julie Ryan, complaints manager at billinge.surgery@nhs.net.

Complaints procedure

We always try to give you the best service possible, but there may be times when you feel that this has not happened. If you have a comment, suggestion or complaint about the service we offer, please let us know. We operate a practice complaints procedure as part of the NHS system for dealing with complaints.

If you feel you cannot raise your complaint directly with us at the practice, or are dissatisfied with the result of our investigation, it does not affect your right to approach the customer solutions centre’s listed below:
