Concerns and Compliments

Listening to you

The Dental Services Division is constantly working to ensure you leave your visit to Birmingham Dental Hospital or one of our community clinics feeling happy and satisfied with the service you have received.

 

To enable us to continue to do this by making us aware of any improvements you feel need to be made or advise us of an area of the service you feel works really well, we encourage our patients or any visitors to contact the Dental Services Patient Experience Team with feedback – both positive and negative.

 

Your feedback helps us to:

• Understand what is important to our patients;
• Support you with any difficulties you may be having;
• Highlight which issues need to be reviewed and improved;
• Showcase what we are doing right as individuals and as a service.

If you do wish to contact the team for support to resolve any concerns or inform us of a compliment you have regarding your care or experience, you can do so by using the contact methods displayed above.

 

How to send us your concerns or complaints

 

Sending us compliments or concerns leaflet

 

This includes contact details for the BCHC advice and liaison service and the BCHC complaints team, should you wish to discuss your feedback with an external team to Dental Services.

 

Please note, if you are making contact with an appointment or referral related enquiry, you will be re-directed to the relevant Booking Team for either hospital or community, as they will be able to provide you with the most up-to-date information regarding clinics.

 

 

Friends and Family Forms

When attending either hospital or community clinics, you may notice that in each waiting / reception area there is a post-box with Friends & Family feedback forms for you to complete. These can be completed in relation to the experience you have had with the Dental Specialty you are visiting that day or alternatively to inform us of your feedback in relation to the wider service or environment.

 

How can I complete these forms?

• You can complete a hard-copy form on the day of your visit whilst you are waiting/after your appointment and post your completed copy within one of the designated post-boxes;

• If you’d rather take a form home to complete, please feel free to do so and post in to a post-box on your next visit.
