Need Some Help? Telford and Wrekin Independent Complaints Advocacy Service

What is Independent Health Complaints Advocacy?

Advocacy provides practical support and information to people who want to complain about an NHS service.
It also supports people who want to make a complaint on someone else’s behalf.

The service aims to help people understand what their options are and to support them through the NHS complaints process to ensure they get the best possible resolution. Every person who accesses the service will have different needs and every complaint is different which is why the service adapts the approach it takes to each case and tailors the support it provides to meet individual needs.
You decide the level of support you need and an advocate will work with you to ensure you get the best possible outcome to your complaint.
