✅ Canceling in advance if you can no longer attend, so we can offer your appointment to another patient.
⏰ Arriving on time for your appointment.
🚗 Allowing plenty of time for your journey and parking. Traffic and finding a space can take longer than expected, so please plan ahead.
📍 Parking is available behind Allsaints Church. Please factor in time to travel to the surgery, park your car and arrive for your appointment on time.
We understand that unexpected things happen, but missed appointments can make it harder for other patients to access the care they need.
🙏 Thank you for your cooperation. By working together, we can make the best use of our appointments and help more patients get seen.
