Data Administration Apprentice @ Killamarsh Medical Practice

* Non-attendance of patient appointments in October*

In October, the Practice had a combined total of 214 appointments where the patient did not attend (DNA). This is an increase from 139 appointments in September.

This data is taken from the patient record system which all our Practice staff use. Whether you use the self check-in screen or see a member of our Reception Team at the Front Desk, your arrival will be marked on the patient system. Similarly, at the end of an appointment, the clinician will record you as having left.

If you are unable to attend your appointment please telephone the Practice (and press option 1) as soon as you know you are not able to attend so we can reschedule it for you. This also means your appointment time can be made available to another patient who needs to be seen by a member of our Clinical Team quickly.

Thank you, in advance, for your help and co-operation

This Remembrance Day, we encourage all GP practices to become Veteran Friendly Accredited to support veterans who may be silently struggling with their mental or physical health at this potentially challenging time.
Research by the Royal College of GPs involving 5,000 veterans found that, although more than half (55%) have experienced health issues potentially related to their service, one in seven (14%) have not sought help from a healthcare professional.
However, nearly two-thirds of veterans said they would be more likely to seek help if they knew their practice was Veteran Friendly Accredited. Having taken the quick and easy step to become accredited ourselves, we have seen first-hand the difference it can make.
The free training and resources provided through the scheme have made it easier for us to identify, understand and support veterans and, where appropriate, refer them to specialist services designed specifically for them. Not only has the programme helped us to improve outcomes for our veteran patients, but it has also helped to save time and reduce repeat appointments.
It takes just 20 minutes to sign up, and more than 4,400 practices have already joined the scheme. A University of Chester evaluation found that 99% of practices recommended it.
Be a champion for veterans and their families this Remembrance Day – get your practice Veteran Friendly Accredited. Sign up for free here: rcgp.org.uk/veterans
