3 Reasons Not To Miss Your Appointment

Posted by:  - Posted on:

  1. Help other patients. – If you book an appointment but don’t attend, another patient will miss out!
  2. Reduce our workload. – Failure to attend or cancel an appointment increases administrative work.
  3. Save the NHS money. – According to Government data, a GP appointment costs up to £50. Missed appointments waste money that you have invested in the NHS.

Non-urgent advice: What Can you Do To Help?

Encourage family members and friends to attend or cancel their appointment.

Write down your appointment and/or add to your phone calendar. Even better, set a reminder.

Always cancel unwanted appointments, no matter how late in the day.
