Due to a recent increase in missed appointments, we are now monitoring patients who do not attend their scheduled appointments more closely.

Repeated non-attendance without prior notice affects access to care for other patients and places additional pressure on our services.

Patients who continue to miss appointments without reasonable explanation may be contacted for review and could risk being removed from the practice list.

Thank you for your understanding.

As a GP practice, we want to let our patients know that appointments may be limited during this period of doctors strike.

There is **zero tolerance for abuse** towards our staff — we’re here to help and appreciate your patience and understanding.

Thank you for bearing with us over the coming week.
