It is important you arrive in good time for your appointment. Arriving late causes delays and is unfair on other patients checking in on time. For this reason, we are no longer able to accommodate late arrivals.

If you know you are going to be late, please contact reception and ask if you should still come, the staff will advise whether it is feasible to attend or rebook.

If you arrive less than 5 minutes late speak to reception who will ask the clinician if they can see you, this is at the discretion of the clinician you are booked with. You may be asked to wait until the end of clinic or until there is an unexpected gap, or they may ask you to rebook.

If you arrive 5 minutes late or more, then you have missed your appointment and need to rebook.

Thank you for your understanding.

🩺🔍 Worried you could be at risk of type 2 diabetes? A few changes in your family history, lifestyle or symptoms might mean a lot.
Here’s what to keep in mind:

• 👪 Family history matters – If a parent, sibling or relative has diabetes, your own risk goes up.
• 🍔 Lifestyle factors count – Being overweight, inactive or having higher waist size can all raise risk.
• 🚩 Symptoms might be subtle – Increased thirst, tiredness or needing to wee more may be signs.
• 📊 Want to know your risk? Try this tool: https://riskscore.diabetes.org.uk/start
• 📖 More reading on what to expect and why this matters: https://patient.info/diabetes/diabetes-mellitus-leaflet

It doesn’t mean diabetes is inevitable - taking action now could make a real difference. 💪
