Did Not Attend (DNA) Appointments – A Growing Concern

Missed appointments continue to have a major impact on the care we can provide, especially during the busy winter period. Over the past month, we recorded 272 missed appointments in total.

Every missed appointment is a lost opportunity for another patient to be seen. To help reduce these numbers, please give as much notice as possible if you need to cancel.

You can cancel quickly and easily using any of the following:
* Anima
* Calling Reception: 01507 522477
* Using our cancellation voicemail service: 01507 522477

Even if you can only give short notice, please still let us know β€” your cancellation may allow another patient to be seen sooner.
