Breast Screening

Just to advise female patients reaching the age of 50 that the national breast screening program aims to call all patients for a mammogram before the age of 53. Patients therefore should not be alarmed or surprised if they do not hear from the screening service as soon as they reach 50 - they will be called before they reach 53 years.

Appointment Non-Attenders

In July patients failed to keep their booked appointments on 82 occasions without cancelling them in advance. We would be grateful if patients could always let us know in advance if they no longer need a booked appointments so that we can open the appointment up for other patients who need them. This is the equivalent of 3 GP days wasted. Help us to help you by co-operating with us in this regard. Thank you.
