🔵 DNA Appointments 🔵

During March there have been 109 missed appointments. You will receive a text reminder which also includes a link to cancel your appointment. If you have opted out of the text messaging service, it is really important that you contact the surgery if you are no longer able to attend appointments so we can utilise this for another patient who may need it.

We understand that things happen and people sometimes forget or are unable to attend. However, repeatedly missing appointments without telling us has a serious impact on access for other patients and on practice workload.

We monitor frequent DNAs . Patients who repeatedly miss appointments without notice , despite reminders and warnings, may be asked to register with another GP practice due to the breakdown in the doctor–patient relationship. By cancelling in good time, you help us offer that appointment to another patient and support safer, more timely care for everyone. Thank you for your cooperation.
