We have had a huge number of patients not attending for their Nurse appointments recently. In some instances, hour long appointments have been wasted.

We are trying our very best to accommodate all our patients in a timely fashion, but due to increased pressures, waiting times may be longer than usual.

We please request that you let us know as soon as possible if you are not able to attend so that we can offer these valuable appointments to others that need them.

Thank you.
