Did not attend - 'DNA'

On average, 200 booked appointments are wasted each month because patients do not attend.

If you miss 3 or more appointments in a given period, we will notify you that further missed appointments will result in your removal from our list and you having to find another GP.

We have introduced an SMS Text Reminder service to remind patients of their appointments.

We will be sending text confirmation and reminder messages to patients who have an appointment at the surgery with a doctor or nurse. If you do not wish to receive text messages from the surgery please let reception know. If you are happy for us to send you text messages please let us have your correct mobile telephone number.

If you cannot attend an appointment please telephone our reception team on 01865 761651 to cancel the appointment so someone else can use it.
