Data on the number of appointments not used due to patients not attending in October :

GP's - 15 hours of appointments not used despite being booked. This amounts to 90 appointments.
ACPS - 20.75 hours of appointments not used. This amounts to 124.5 appointments not used
Nurses - 68 hours not used despite being booked. This amounts to over 400 appointments (based on 10 minutes) not used

Can we please remind you all again to let us know if you cannot attend, even on the day. We can always offer these to other patients. If you continue to fail to attend, your registration will be considered and final warnings issued. We do not have the capacity to continue with the number of missed appointments.

Thank you

Just a friendly reminder about our available clinicians - We have GP's and Advanced Clinical Practitioners to book appointments with. Both GP's and ACP's can do exactly the same - examinations, request tests, prescribe, issue sick notes and refer to secondary care. At Neasham Road Surgery we treat our ACP's the same as doctors. We offer appointments with all staff. It is therefore disappointing to hear of patients who take an appointment but express their dissatisfaction when in the room with the clinician, as they are not ' a doctor'. Please be assured we treat them as doctors. They have undergone years of clinical skills training. We would not offer appointments if we did not have absolutely faith and confidence in our staff. Please respect our staff. Thank you.

Good morning. Some of you may have been contacted with regard to your appointment with one of our Health Care Assistants today. Unfortunately due to an accident, she will be off for some time. We will also be contacting those with upcoming appointments.

We will, where possible, rebook your appointments but please allow us some time to source additional staff and move other appointments. Thank you for your patience. I am sure you wish our staff member well in her recovery.
