GP APPOINTMENT? CAN'T MAKE IT? DON'T NEED IT? CANCEL IT!
If you are unable to keep your appointment, please make every effort to cancel it well in advance so that it may be offered to someone else. Non-attendance and cancellations at short notice without a valid reason deprives other patients of essential medical services. Appointments are often wasted as people do not attend. These appointments could have been used by other patients.
*****
As from the 5th November 2018 we are extending our processing time for prescription requests from 2 working days to 3 working days. Please bear this in mind when ordering prescriptions from now on. Thank you.
