Training practice
We are a training practice and provide placements for GP registrars and student nurses. You may be offered an appointment with one of our Registrars and from time to time they may ask permission to video the consultation.
Students may be present during an appointment you have with your GP or Nurse. If you have any objections to any of the above, please let the Reception staff, GP or Nurse know.
It is important to let the practice know if you cannot attend an appointment or no longer need a telephone call
The number of DNAs (did not attend) is increasing
In July 2024, there were 171 DNAs with the nursing team and 180 DNAs with the GP’s.
Without informing us, we cannot offer this appointment to a patient who needs it which increases waiting times for all and wastes valuable NHS time.
If a patient fails to attend an appointment without notice, a text message orletter will be sent.
If a patient fails to attend a second appointment without notice within a 12 month period, a further letter will be sent
If a patient fails to attend a third appointment within the same 12 month period, a decision will be made by the partners and management as to whether the patient is removed from the practice list
All letters are saved in the patient's health record and are valid for a 12 month period
