 Appointments not attended

In the month of February a total of  82 patients did not attend their booked appointments ( 8 with the doctors and 76 with the practice nurse) nor were the appointments cancelled so they could not be offered to patients in need of them. If you no longer need or are unable to attend the appointment you have booked, please call the surgery on 020 7266 1449 to cancel it.
