Failed appointments and late cancellation policy,
At our practice, we understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise. However, we kindly request that you provide us with at least 24 hours' notice if you are unable to attend your appointment. This allows us to allocate the time to another patient in need of care. The practice considers any appointment 'missed' if the patient fails to attend or fails to provide at least 24 hours' notice for cancellation.Failure to Attend/Late Arrival,New patients that fail to attend will not be offered another appointment. If you arrive more than five minutes later than your allocated appointment time, then this will be classified as a fail to attend.
Please note that if you fail to attend two appointments in a row or two appointments within a year, we will no longer be able to offer you an appointment. Additionally, if you fail to attend the practice for a check-up for two years, your place will be reallocated due to the high demand for the NHS spaces.
To retain your NHS place, we kindly ask that you attend regular examinations.
