We need your help, 91 appointments were missed in January!

⏰ That’s over 22 hours of clinical time lost, time that could have been used to see other patients waiting for care.

❗ Every missed appointment puts extra pressure on our staff and delays access for other patients who need care.

🙏 If you can’t attend your appointment, please cancel as early as possible even on the day. Every cancellation helps someone else get the care they need.

Please help us make every appointment count.

💊 Friendly reminder about ordering your prescription💊

Please order your repeat prescriptions in good time but not too early.

• They’ll either be sent to your nominated pharmacy or ready for collection from the practice
• Pharmacies may need a little extra time to prepare your medication, including ordering it if needed

Even if we’ve sent it to your local pharmacy, it might not be ready straight away. Once it’s ready, it’ll be waiting for you, no need to check with us before then.

Thank you for giving everything enough time and for helping us keep things running smoothly.
