Complaints

We try to give a high level of service. But we are all human and we can get it wrong.

If you have any reason to be dissatisfied with us, please in the first instance refer the matter to Patrick O’Donnell. He will attempt amicably to resolve any issues. If they cannot be resolved in this way, then you may write to the Faculty Office at 1, The Sanctuary, Westminster, London SW1P 3JT who would arrange for your complaint to receive consideration in accordance with the applicable rules.
