1. Purpose
MDP Medical Ltd operates a digital healthcare platform that connects patients, independent clinicians and partner pharmacies.
We are committed to ensuring that anyone using our service, or interacting with us, can raise concerns or complaints easily and that these are handled fairly, promptly and transparently.
We use complaints as an opportunity to improve the quality, safety and effectiveness of our service.
2. Our Approach
We aim to:
- make it easy to raise a concern or complaint
- respond promptly and respectfully
- investigate concerns fairly and proportionately
- keep you informed throughout
- be open and honest where something has gone wrong
- learn from feedback and improve our service
You will not be treated unfairly for raising a concern or complaint.
3. What You Can Complain About
You can raise concerns or complaints about:
- clinical care provided through the platform
- prescribing decisions
- pharmacy dispensing or delivery
- communication or professional conduct
- platform functionality affecting your experience

Clinicians and pharmacies are independent providers and remain responsible for the services they deliver. We will coordinate complaints and work with them where appropriate.
