183 booked appointments were missed by patients in October.
That’s 31 hours of doctor’s and nurse’s time wasted.
Appointments that are booked and then not attended by patients waste the time of our healthcare practitioners, cost the NHS money, and delay other patients booking appointments.
If you have booked an appointment and are then feeling better or are unable to attend, please contact us to cancel, so that we can offer the time to another patient.
You can cancel by:
- return of your text reminder
- completing our online form
- using our online booking system, if you are a registered user.
- telephoning reception on New Mills Surgery 01663 743483orHayfield Surgery 01663 744246
