If you consider your Doctor has put your health at risk, you can complain to the ' General Medical Council' (GMC)
If you are not happy with a diagnosis, go to your local Hospital and explain your concerns. Some Years ago, My Son had an infection, which the Doctor passed off as nothing. After 3 days, he had got much worse. We took him straight to the Hospital. They took him into Isolation and pumped him full of drugs. He was diagnosed with Advanced Interstitial Nephritis. He spent several weeks on I.V. before being well again. The Specialist Nephrologist said that he could of Died or his Kidneys permanently damaged!.
All of his was because of a Doctor who could not be bothered!

What do you mean not happy with it? Do you think it is not accurate?! Best thing is to get a second opinion. And even a third. If they disagree with the first then you have a case to say something but otherwise on what grounds would you complain?

Go to the head of the surgery and talk to them, there should be a complaints procedure made easily available as well ask for a copy of this.

Firstly, use the spell checker.
Secondly, demand another opinion.

You can ask for a second opinion. If you need help with finding out your rights, you should contact your Patient Advisory and Liaison Service - every NHS trust should have one. Their role is to provide support, advice and help to patients and their families to help resolve concerns.

you can complain to the patient advocate or the administrator. you coulsd also complain to the medical board but I would get second or third opinions first.

get more than one opinion to at least see if he's wrong before you start complaining.
