⚠ Failure to Attend Appointments ⚠

Where Patients have been unable to book an appointment because we are fully booked, it is very frustrating when one of those booked appointments does not attend (DNA).

If you are unable to attend your appointment then please let us know so that we can offer this to somebody else.

Remember that your DNA is another Patient's denied appointment
