557 appointments were missed at Kensington Partnership last month.

That's an average of 35 a day, the equivalent of an entire day of GP appointments lost!

104 of those had been booked on the same day of the appointment, meaning those slots couldn't be offered to other patients.

It's important to let us know as soon as possible if you can't come to your appointment - we understand life happens and things change meaning you can't attend. You can call the practice or use the NHS App to cancel.
