Missed AppointmentsπŸ˜’πŸ˜’πŸ˜’πŸ“†πŸ—“οΈπŸ“…

We understand that life can be busy, and sometimes it's difficult to attend scheduled appointments. However, we’ve noticed an increasing number of missed appointments, which can affect availability for other patients.
To help ensure fair access to appointments, we have introduced a policy:
If a patient repeatedly misses appointments without informing us, they may be removed from the practice list and asked to register with another GP practice.
We kindly ask that you keep your contact details up to date so you can receive appointment reminders by text. This helps us support you and other patients more effectively.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
