DNA's in January Posted or Updated on 17 Apr 2025

Unattended consultations at Carmel Medical Practice in January

January was not a good month for the number of wasted consultations at the surgery.

These were all booked by patients who did not turn up for their appointments (DNAs).

31 GP consultations (6.5 hours)

10 Nurse Practitioner consultations (2.5 hours)

29 Practice Nurse consultations (9 hours)

28 health care assistant consultations (5.5 hours)

Total consultations 98 (23.5 hours).

Please remember to cancel any consultations you no longer require or are unable to make. We can always offer these to other patients if we are given sufficient notice.

Consultations are in great demand as I am sure you are aware, if we can reduce the number of those not used, we can help you.

Thank you.
