Patients – Did Not Attend

Did you know

  • In December 2023 – 180 appointments Were DNA’s
  • January 2024 – 160 appointments were DNA’s
  • February 2024 – 159 appointments were DNA’s

That is a total of 499 appointments that were not attended.

That is the equivalent to a whopping 16 clinical days worth of appointments.

There has been a lot of media coverage in recent months regarding patients not being able to get an appointment or having to wait a long time for one. At Parish Fields Practice we pride ourselves on the service we provide our community and aim to get patients booked in promptly to be seen as soon as possible.

To help us provide the best service, please can we urge all patients to cancel their appointment in advance if you cannot make it. Patients are sent a reminder via text message which has an option to cancel, or you can cancel via our website.
