Giving a compliment
Excellent customer service deserves appreciation but we can often take it for granted and don't think to thank the person or team who provided us with information we wanted, or helped us with a situation.
Compliments help us to know what’s good, what we should continue doing and our staff understand they're valued.
If you've had excellent service please give us a quick call on 01865 381042 or email NHSBTCustomerService@nhsbt.nhs.uk
