Help Us to Help You
We aim to provide an excellent standard of care and we strive to improve things when they go wrong.
Complaints and Compliments
If you would like to discuss a concern or make a compliment, please either email us at manager.westernroadsurgerybillericay@nhs.net, or ask reception to book a call with the manager.
If you would like to formally complain, you can do this verbally, by email to Ruth McMahon or by letter to the practice address. We aim to acknowledge your complaint in 3 working days and respond to it in 21 days.
You can also complain directly to the Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board who commission our services by calling 01268 594444, emailing Mseicb.complaints@nhs.net or writing to Phoenix House, Christopher Martin Road, Basildon, Essex, SS14 3H.
Our practice complaints leaflet (below) gives further information about the complaints procedure.

These forms can be found in reception, but if you wish to complete this online, please click the link below. It will take you to a short google form where you can give your opinion. All responses are confidential.
