🔔 Help us reduce missed appointments 🔔

We’re seeing an increase in patients not attending their face-to-face appointments. During the festive period, we have fewer appointments available, so missed slots mean other patients may not be able to be seen.

If you no longer need your appointment, please let us know as soon as possible so we can offer it to someone else.

📱 If you receive a text reminder, you can cancel easily by replying CANCEL.

Thank you for helping us care for our patients and make best use of NHS appointments 💙
