South Axholme Practice

11/04/2026

In march 133 patients failed to attend their appointments. This is below NHS averages of 5% but we still want to be better.

Did you know if you have a mobile phone number on your record we text you to remind you of your appointment 7 days before and on the day. You can also reply to this text to cancel should you need to.

Over the coming months we are spending time ensuring that we have the most up to date mobile numbers for our patients. We will encourage patients to receive a text with their appointment on rather than an appointment card which can be easily lost!

If you are unsure if you have the correct details on your record please contact our reception time who will be happy to check and update if needed.

Due to the current doctors’ strike and the 4-day Easter closure, we are expecting a significantly high volume of incoming calls to the practice.

We kindly ask patients to avoid calling for non-urgent queries during this time so that we can prioritise those who need urgent care.

Please remember that you can check your test results (including blood tests) quickly and easily using the NHS App, and you do not need to contact the practice for this.

Finally, we ask that all patients remain kind and polite to our staff when you do get through. Our team are working extremely hard under increased pressure, and your understanding is greatly appreciated.

Did you know, you can view your test results, hospital letters and consultations on the NHS App.

Had a blood test and want to see your results? You do not need to phone the surgery, once your results are back and have been viewed by a Dr they will appear on your NHS App.

Been to hospital and are waiting for feedback from your consultant? You do not need to wait for the postman, your letter will be viewable on the NHS App.

Even if you have visited us for an appointment with one of our clinician and not taken in all they said, you can view the consultation notes on the NHS App the very same day.

If you need help setting up and accessing the NHS App, call into any surgery where a member of the reception team will be able to help you.
