Patients urged to cancel appointments rather than just not show up.

More than 15 million general practice appointments are being wasted each year in the UK because patients do not turn up and fail to warn surgeries that they will not be attending.
We are urging patients to do their bit by making a New Year’s resolution to let the NHS know if they cannot attend an appointment.

Did you know that Heart failure is the most common cause of acute admission to hospital?

Many patients once diagnosed and on prognostic medication still have a 20% mortality at one year, but if not on any heart failure prevention medications at all at one year from diagnosis, rises to 44% 😣

We are looking for an Operations and Facilities Manager for our surgery.
