“Good leadership is vital to create a culture that values and learns from complaints”

Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman May 2019

This National Summit focuses on delivering a person-centred approach to complaints handling, investigation, resolution and learning. Through national updates, practical case studies and in depth expert sessions the conference aims to improve the effectiveness of complaints handling within your service, and ensure that complaints lead to change and improvements in patient care. There will also be an extended focus on supporting frontline staff when a complaint is made

“A complaint can be stressful and anxiety inducing for everyone involved, including healthcare professionals, and we should never underestimate the effect a complaint can have on them. NHS staff must be fully supported throughout the complaints process so that it doesn’t damage their confidence, trigger mental health problems, or result in the over management of patients.”

Andrew Medlock, Assistant Director of Strategy and Partnerships, Public Health Service Ombudsman, BMJ 2019
