Appointments at this Practice are in great demand and it whilst the failure to attend one appointment may be an oversight on your part it does nothing to help us to meet the ever increasing demand for appointments.
On average we have 120 Failed to Attend appointments per month and this equates to one Doctors time for a whole week: we simply do not have the resources to accommodate so many missed appointments.
It is for this reason we ask that you notify us if you cannot attend so that the appointment can be offered to another Patient.
Because of this we are obliged to operate a policy of removing Patients from our list if they fail to attend for appointments on more than two occasions.
