DNA APPOINTMENTS
26th Aug 2022

DNA'S

  ⁉️NO SHOW APPOINTMENTS⁉️

IF YOU CAN NOT MAKE YOUR APPOINTMENT PLEASE CANCEL THIS IN ADVANCE.

IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS WE HAVE HAD A TOTAL OF 137 PEOPLE WHO DID NOT ATTEND APPOINTMENTS AND DID NOT LET US KNOW.

This results in appointment slots going to waste which not only wastes our clinicians time but also prevents those who really need appointments from being able to get booked in instead.

GP practices across the country are getting regular abuse due to lack of appointments and a main contributing factor of this is no show appointments.
Continued offenders will receive letters informing you of your missed appointment and if this continues you may result in removal from our practice.
We understand it can be difficult to get through via telephone ( we are in the process of updating our telephone system) but you can cancel through your online services as an alternative.

We of course understand there are circumstances beyond your control that may result in a missed appointment but where possible please make the surgery aware as soon as you can.

eConsult

eConsult

- eConsult Requests -

Please be mindful that eConsults should only be used for non urgent issues.

Although eConsult will not let you submit a request if your answers indicate you need immediate medical attention, sometimes if patients do not provide enough detail on the form these can filter through the system and potentially delay emergency treatment.
