Physio at Parkwood Health Centre

Missed Appointments - Non-attendance

The number of missed appointments at both surgeries between January and March 2023 totalled 138.

52 appointments were missed in March alone, 4 with a GP and 48 with a nurse.

Each appointment with the nurse is 30 minutes. Therefore, 24 hours were wasted, during one month, which is very costly to the practice.

If you cannot attend your appointment, please contact the surgery so staff can book in another patient - Thank you.
