Dear Gregory I am the Practice manager at Eden and I am very sorry to hear that you were unable to get an appointment with us. It is a fact that we have been under pressure to provide appointments to meet the demand from our patient population, especially during the winter months when demand is particularly high. During February we also suffered from illness related absences amongst our clinical team which exacerbated the problem. When the Practice has used all of it's available same day appointments, we direct people to NHS111 so that they are able to speak to an available clinician, but unfortunately they tend to push patients back to the GP despite being aware that we have no available appointments. As a practice, we are working hard to ensure that we maximise our appointment availability by ensuring that we only allocate same day urgent appts to those who actually need one, and reduce the number of (very frustrating) DNAs - did not attend. Please feel free to contact me directly via eden.surgery@nhs.net to discuss this further, or discuss with me personally when you next visit the surgery. Once again, apologies for the inconvenience that this has caused you. Peter Eldon Practice Manager
