An increasing number of patients are attending late for their appointments. If you arrive 5 or more minutes late for your appointment you will not be seen. If you are less than 5 minutes late you may be seen, but this will be at the Doctor or Nurse’s discretion. You may be offered the option to wait until there is a free space in the clinic (if there are any empty appointments) – this could take from a few minutes to several hours. If we hold an up to date mobile number for you, a text reminder of your appointment can be sent 24 hours in advance. Please check with reception that you have given us permission for this.
