About our Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS)
What is PALS (Patient Advice and Liaison Service)?
It is better and quicker to resolve concerns about your or treatment by speaking with the staff responsible for your care. If, you feel uncomfortable talking with them, or do not feel that they have resolved your concern, you can speak with PALS.
PALS are your first point of contact in helping to improve the NHS by listening to your concerns and suggestions.
The confidential service operates Monday to Friday 9.00am – 5.00pm (excluding Bank Holidays).
