Feedback, compliments and complaints
Barnsley Hospital is committed to providing the best treatment and care possible for our patients. We want you to be satisfied with your care, the environment, the food and our attitude.
We welcome feedback from patients and visitors.
Hearing about the experience you had at our hospital is very important. It enables us to pass compliments to our staff on your behalf and make improvements if we have not met your expectations.
Your feedback is important
The Patient Advice and Complaints team provide a point of contact for patients, their relatives, partners, friends and carers. We would like to hear from you if you think we have done something well or if you have suggestions on how we could do something differently. Equally we want to know if you are unhappy or have a complaint about the services provided.
The Team aims to:
- listen to compliments, concerns and complaints
- answer queries and help resolve problems on behalf of patients, families and carers
- provide advice and support on how to make a formal complaint
- liaise with departments to ensure concerns and complaints are resolved

We often prefer to have your concerns in writing so that we can be confident that we know from you what the specific issues are that you want to have answers to, and there is less room for confusion.
When sending us your complaint please remember to include:

If writing a complaint (by hand or using word processing software) is challenging or not possible for you, you can make your complaint via phone.
