Did Not Attend

Quote / Testimonial:
Non-attendance of appointments costs the NHS thousands of working hours each week. In July 2023, Ludham & Stalham Green Surgeries offered:

1077 GP appointments – 48% of which were face to face
1241 Nurse & HCA appointments

Thank you to everyone who promptly attended their appointments.

Non-urgent advice:

Unfortunately, 93 patients failed to turn up for their appointments and gave us no prior notice. Which consisted of:

– 21 GP appointments
– 25 Nurse appointments
– 47 HCA, Mental Health, Physio or any other clinician

This amounted to 26 hours and 57 minutes of wasted clinical time.
