------------------------------ Appointment Attendance

In the month of April 53 patients did not attend their appointment at the surgery. This many missed appointments amounts to over 13 hours of wasted time. Please remember to cancel your appointment if you cannot make it to the surgery, this allows the reception staff to re-book your appointment so somebody else can be seen.

We are trying to avoid telephone calls for repeat prescription requests this to allow us to free up our telephone lines to enable receptionists to signpost you to the most appropriate appointments.

Requests can be made online this is a much easier process and your prescription can be sent straight to the chemist electronically if you wish.

Please allow 48 hours, excluding weekends and Bank Holidays, for your normal repeat request to be processed. Requests for acute medication i.e items that are not on your regular list may take longer.

Repeat prescriptions can be sent electronically to the pharmacy of your choice, please inform the receptionist when ordering your medication
