Wishing all of our patients a very Merry Christmas!

12/12/2025

Between yesterday morning (Thurs 11th December) until lunchtime today, we’ve had 25 patients who have not attended the practice or answered their telephone call.

Some of these appointments were made only earlier this week and we have some examples where appointments were made only hours before.

This has a huge impact on our availability of appointments for patients, especially in this period of high demand.

We understand that sometimes things happen which mean that patients can’t attend, but please let us know as far in advance as possible so that we can offer the appointment to another patient.
