๐Ÿ“ข Did Not Attend (DNA) Appointments

Last week we had a number of missed appointments:

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€โš•๏ธ Nurses: 22 appointments = 6 hours 5 minutes
๐Ÿ‘จโ€โš•๏ธ Doctors: 21 appointments = 6 hours 25 minutes

Thatโ€™s over 12 hours of clinical time lost in just one week.

Missed appointments mean longer waiting times for everyone. If you canโ€™t make your appointment, please let us know so we can offer it to someone else who needs it.

Thank you for your support in helping us provide the best care possible. ๐Ÿ’š
