It is important that you inform the reception staff if you are unable to attend your appointment, this will allow that appointment to be offered to another patient. 

The practice has a procedure for patients who fail to attend their appointments if you do not attend your booked appointments and do not contact the practice to contact the appointment; you will receive a letter from the practice. If after receipt of this letter you continue to fail to attend appointment the practice may have to consider removing you from the practice list and request that you register with another practice. The practice team do not wish to lose patients this way and the easiest way to stop this happening is to let us know if you cannot attend.
