IF YOU ARE LATE FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT

Patients who arrive late also contribute to a clinician running late.

When you book an appointment, you are reserving 10 minutes of a Clinician's time for your problem. If you arrive 5 minutes late, you will only have 5 minutes to discuss your issue, which may be insufficient.

We therefore ask that you attend your appointment promptly, arriving at least a couple of minutes beforehand is always a good plan.

If you arrive 9 or more minutes late, you may not be seen as your appointment slot will have passed and the Clinician will move on to the next appointment. So, if your problem requires that you must see us, please ensure you arrive on time.

Please note it is at the Clinician's discretion to see you if you are significantly late for your appointment.

We offer late weekday and Saturday appointments in collaboration with our Primary Care Network Practices, Mendip Country Practice, Park Medical Practice, Grove Surgery and Oakhill Surgery.

It is important that you inform the practice if you are unable to attend your appointment, this will allow that appointment to be offered to another patient. If you persistently fail to notify the Practice that you are unable to attend, you will be sent a letter informing you that you have defaulted from your appointment and may ultimately be removed from our patient list.

You can cancel or change your appointment by:
