Important Notice to Patients

Unfortunately, due to unexpected sickness absence affecting several members of our clinical team, Aden Health Centre has significantly reduced clinical capacity and will be providing an emergencies-only service at this time.

We appreciate that this may cause inconvenience and ask for your patience and understanding while our team focuses on patients requiring urgent medical care.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding.

🏥Over the last month, our team delivered 3,803 patient consultations and appointments, including 2,061 nursing appointments and 1,742 appointments with GPs, ANPs, Physiotherapists and other clinicians.

💻 Patients are increasingly using Engage, helping them access support without needing to phone the practice. In the same period, we managed:
• 1,341 medical queries
• 1,660 administrative and prescription requests

That's over 3,000 requests handled digitally, helping patients get the right support from the right person more quickly.

‼️We also recorded 326 missed appointments. ‼️Every missed appointment is a slot that could have been offered to another patient. If you no longer need your appointment, please let us know as soon as possible so we can offer it to someone else.

Thank you for your continued support. By using Engage and cancelling appointments you no longer need, you help us make the best use of NHS resources and improve access to care for everyone in our community. 💙
