Appointments not Attended
We would like to remind the 228 patients who booked an appointment to be seen in April 2018 but failed to either attend the appointment or cancel it, that they can contact us on 02920 353020 to cancel their appointment. 33 patients missed appointments last week.
Patients who miss appointments increase the time it takes for all of our patients to book a routine appointment as they usually rebook the missed appointment.
Patients who persistently miss appointments, without a valid reason, will be asked to register with a different doctor’s surgery.
