How ISCAS works
The Independent Sector Complaints Adjudication Service (ISCAS) is the recognised complaints management framework in the independent healthcare sector. ISCAS is a voluntary subscription scheme that represents the vast majority of all independent healthcare providers across the UK. The ISCAS Complaints Code of Practice (the Code) sets out the standards that ISCAS subscribers agree to meet when handling complaints about their services.
The Code is a three stage process which reflects the complexity of independent healthcare. The focus of the Code is on local resolution wherever possible.
