The NHS is offering a vaccine to help protect people most at risk of Gonorrhoea

Gonorrhoea is a common STI that can cause serious health problems if untreated

You may be offered it if you’re a man who has s*x with men and are at higher risk — for example, if you’ve had multiple partners recently or a recent STI

More info ➡️

Find out about gonorrhoea, including the symptoms, how it’s diagnosed and treated, and what you can do to prevent it.

It is important to let the practice know if you cannot attend an appointment or no longer need a telephone call

The number of DNAs (did not attend) increased significantly in July meaning we could not offer an appointment to all who needed one

In July 2025, there were 100 DNAs with the nursing team and 42 DNAs with clinicians such as GPs and physician assistants

Without informing us, we cannot offer this appointment to a patient who needs it which increases waiting times for all and wastes valuable NHS time

A DNA will be recorded on a patient's record if less than 24 hours notice is given to cancel

If a patient fails to attend an appointment without notice, a letter will be sent

If a patient fails to attend a second appointment without notice within a 12 month period, a further letter will be sent

If a patient fails to attend a third appointment within the same 12 month period, a decision will be made by the partners and management as to whether the patient is removed from the practice list

All letters are saved in the patient's health record and are valid for a 12 month period

We understand that circumstances can change unexpectedly so we have made it even easier to cancel by following this link
