We only had 29 patients book but fail to attend their flu appointment on Saturday. A big improvement from 49 the first week!

Let’s try to get it to zero for this Saturday. If you booked but can’t attend, then use the link on your reminder to cancel.

That way we don’t waste any time and can rebook the appointment so another patient can come 🙂
