Kensington Partnership

11/03/2026

557 appointments were missed at Kensington Partnership last month.

That's an average of 35 a day, the equivalent of an entire day of GP appointments lost!

104 of those had been booked on the same day of the appointment, meaning those slots couldn't be offered to other patients.

It's important to let us know as soon as possible if you can't come to your appointment - we understand life happens and things change meaning you can't attend. You can call the practice or use the NHS App to cancel.

Ramadan, the holiest month in the Islamic calendar, has started. Take this opportunity to forge a deep connection to faith, gratitude, and self-awareness. Engaging in prayer and reflection can reduce stress and create a sense of inner peace.

We recognise that Ramadan can also be a difficult time for some so prioritise your physical health, maintain a healthy sleep routine and connect with others.

We have a specialised service called Behavioural activation for Muslims that offers support for Muslims with depression using Behavioural Activation techniques and teachings from the Quran and Sunnah

If you do struggle during this time, know that Hope and Light is always here to help. Reach out to us via our website: bdcmind.org.uk/support-for-you/adult-services/hope-and-light/ramadan-2026/

Jess's Rule: Three times and we rethink

If a patient presents three times with the same symptoms or concerns - especially if they persist, escalate or remain unexplained - it's time for us to rethink.

Implementing Jess’s Rule will support GP teams to manage patients with unclear symptoms, helping to improve quality of care and potentially saving lives by avoiding missed or delayed diagnosis of more serious conditions such as cancer or sepsis.

Under Jess’s Rule, listening carefully to a patient’s symptoms and concerns remain crucial, recognising they are an expert in their own body.
