Missed Appointments – Why They Matter

Each month, a number of appointments at Parkwood Surgery are missed because patients are unable to attend and do not let us know in advance.

Missed appointments cannot be offered to other patients and place additional pressure on clinical services. This affects waiting times and reduces the number of appointments available to those who need care.

Below is a summary of the number of appointments missed in December 2025 and the estimated cost to the NHS.

If you are unable to attend an appointment, please let us know as soon as possible so we can offer it to another patient who needs care.

Patient Services Guide

At Parkwood Surgery, we are committed to helping you make the most out of the healthcare services available to you. The Friends of Parkwood Surgery have developed a comprehensive guide outlining the range of services we offer. This includes information on how to book appointments, request prescriptions, the different types of clinicians you may see, and step-by-step guidance on using digital tools, such as the NHS App – along with other useful resources.

A Note to our Patients

If a patient requires an appointment, and English is not their first language, please ensure they are accompanied by a family member, friend or carer who is able to assist with translation. The practice also has access to professional translation services, which are available during appointments only.

If you need information in a different format, please contact the surgery and we will be happy to help.
