Stage 1 - talk to a member of staff
If you feel comfortable doing so, it’s always best to mention your concern to the member of staff you are dealing with or their manager. They may be able to sort things out for you.
Stage 2 - contact the Practice Manager
The contact details for your GP surgery’s practice manager should be on your surgery’s website together with the procedures and policies it follows. Or you can ask at your surgery’s reception desk.
