Between 1st September and 30th November 2021, there were 433 appointments wasted across Brewood and Wheaton Aston surgeries.
Patients either did not attend a booked appointment without cancelling it or arrived too late for a scheduled appointment where the whole allocated appointment time has been missed.
The duration of appointments can vary from just a few minutes up to a 45 minute procedure at the surgery. However, if any appointment is not attended, it cannot be offered to another patient at such short notice. This then wastes both clinical time and adds to other patients’ wait for routine appointments.
If you don’t need it – cancel it!
If you don’t need your booked appointment or have Covid 19 symptoms and therefore cannot attend a face to face appointment, please cancel so someone else can use the slot.
