Last month, we had 192 "did not attend" (DNA) appointments. This is equivalent to 6 days of clinicians' time.

These appointments could have been given to other Patients had they been cancelled or rescheduled.

We completely understand that things change and life gets in the way! All we ask is that you let us know as early as possible if you need to cancel.

You can call us on 0117 9082360 and press option 1 to leave a message or you can reply to the appointment reminder message that gets sent to you 24hrs before.

Thank you
Beechwood

A huge thank you to every one who took the time to complete the recent National GP Patient Survey! We are very grateful for your feedback as it helps us understand what we are doing well and where we need to focus our efforts.

We are delighted to share that 93% of our patients found our reception and admin team helpful (compared to 86% locally and 85% nationally.

You rated the care provided by our healthcare professionals very highly - we are happy to know you feel supported and well cared for during your appointments.

We also recognise that access to appointments received lower satisfaction scores. Your feedback is invaluable to us and we are making changes to the way you can book and access appointments in the near future.

Thank you for working with us to improve our practice . We look forward to sharing more updates with you as these changes roll out.

Beechwood 🙂

Thinking about your relationship with alcohol? This week is Alcohol Awareness Week! 🍺
It’s the perfect time to take a step back and look at how much we’re drinking. Often, those extra glasses of w**e in the evening or pints on the weekend can creep up on us without us even realising it.
Reducing your alcohol intake, even just a little bit, can have amazing benefits for your health, including:
Better sleep (say goodbye to that 3 AM wake-up call!)
More energy
A stronger immune system and lower blood pressure
Saving money 💰

The NHS recommends drinking no more than 14 units of alcohol a week, spread over 3 days or more.
What does 14 units look like? It’s roughly 6 pints of average-strength b**r or 6 medium glasses of w**e.
