Giving feedback - Urology

OneWelbeck is committed to providing a high-quality service, with an excellent experience for our patients through delivery of safe and effective care and treatment. OneWelbeck provides a range of services (through our specialty centres) within our building, and we strive to ensure every patient has a seamless journey whether you are using one or more of our centres.

We welcome any feedback from you as this gives us an opportunity to learn and improve the services, care, and treatment we provide. If you wish to raise a concern, make a complaint, or provide other feedback this information page provides details on how to do this. OneWelbeck will be open and transparent in our investigation and in our response to you. Please be assured that raising a concern or complaint will not compromise any future care.

Compliments

If you would like to make a compliment about any aspect of the care, treatment and service you received, please let us know and we will share this with the relevant team/individual.  You can tell us this verbally, in writing, via email or phone using the contact details for Luzelle Olszewski Centre Director which can be found below.

Patient/User Survey

OneWelbeck has a survey that you can complete, you can find this within our App or if you would like this to be posted out to you, please let a member of the team know and we will organise this.

Concerns

Please raise a concern if there is an occasion where OneWelbeck may not have met your expectations and you want to highlight this to us, but do not need to raise a formal complaint. To express a concern please speak to an appropriate member of staff in the centre providing your care.  This could be a member of the team providing your care or you can raise this with reception who will take your concerns forward.  You can also raise a concern once you have left OneWelbeck, please use the contact details for Luzelle Olszewski, Centre Director, which can be found below.

All information you provide to us will be handled confidentially, involving only those who need to know and following all relevant data protection requirements. OneWelbeck follows the standard independent healthcare three stage complaint process as follows:

Making a Complaint (Stage 1)

A complaint can be made in writing or by email. Your complaint should be made as soon as possible after the event and must be made to us within 6 months of the event or discovering that you have cause to complain.  The contact details for you to make your complaint are:

Luzelle Olszewski, Centre Director

OneWelbeck Urology

1 Welbeck Street

London, W1G : luzelle.olszewski@onewelbeck.com

Main reception phone: 020 3653 2008

When we receive your complaint, the following steps will be taken:

• The Centre Director or an appropriate member of the team, will telephone you to talk through the issues you have raised.
• A written acknowledgement of your complaint will be sent to you within 3 working days of receipt of the complaint and providing a date when you can expect a written response.
• OneWelbeck will provide the written response to your complaint within 20 working days from the date we receive it. We will notify you of any unexpected delays.

If you are making a complaint on behalf of someone else, we will require a consent form to be completed so that we have permission to share confidential details with the complainant rather than the patient.

Escalation of your Complaint (Stage 2)

If you are dissatisfied with our investigation findings and/or how we handled your complaint at stage 1, you can escalate your complaint to stage 2. The stage 2 process is an internal review of the original complaint and will be investigated by someone not previously involved.

You will need to escalate to stage 2 within six months of the stage 1 complaint response, providing details of the issues that are unresolved.

As with stage 1 the acknowledgement will be within 3 working days and the response 20 working days.  A meeting (in person or via phone or other media) can be arranged if that is something you would like to happen.

External Adjudication of Complaint (Stage 3)

After receiving the stage 2 response, if you remain dissatisfied, you do have the right to approach the Independent Healthcare Sector Complaints Adjudication Service (ISCAS) as per the Stage 3 complaints process.  ISCAS can be contacted in the following ways:

Email ISCAS: info@iscas.org.uk
