*Non-attendance of patient appointments in April*
In May, the Practice had a combined total of 136 appointments where the patient did not attend (DNA).
This data is taken from the patient record system which all our Practice staff use. Whether you use the self check-in screen or see a member of our Reception Team at the Front Desk, your arrival will be marked on the patient system. Similarly, at the end of an appointment, the clinician will record you as having left.

If you are unable to attend your appointment please telephone the Practice (and press option 1) as soon as you know you are not able to attend so we can reschedule it for you. This also means your appointment time can be made available to another patient who needs to be seen by a member of our Clinical Team quickly.

Thank you, in advance, for your help and co-operation

💙 A Friendly Reminder 💙

Our reception team is here to help and support all of our patients, and they work hard every day to provide the best possible service.

Recently, we have experienced a small number of incidents where staff have been spoken to in a rude or disrespectful manner. We kindly ask that all patients treat our team with courtesy, patience, and respect.

We understand that healthcare needs can sometimes be stressful or frustrating, and we will always do our best to assist you. However, abusive, aggressive, or rude behaviour towards our staff will not be tolerated.

Thank you to the vast majority of our patients who continue to show kindness, understanding, and respect to our hardworking reception team. Your support is greatly appreciated.

After more than 32 years of dedication, compassion, and unwavering commitment at Killamarsh Medical Practice, the time has come for Susan Goodwin to hang up her NHS lanyard and begin her well-earned retirement.

Sue has been far more than a colleague — she has been the heart of so many days at KMP. Her smile, infectious laughter, and caring nature have brightened the lives of everyone around her, from staff to patients alike. Over the years, she has been a constant source of kindness, support, and friendship, leaving a lasting impression on all who have had the pleasure of knowing her.

While retirement marks the end of an incredible chapter, Sue’s impact and memories will remain part of KMP for years to come. She will be deeply missed by colleagues and patients alike, but we couldn’t be happier for her as she begins this new journey.

Happy Retirement Sue — with love and gratitude from all your friends at KMP.

It’s that time of year again when we ask carers to share their feedback on the support they’ve received from Derbyshire All Age Carers Support Service. Your views help us improve our services and make sure we’re offering support that is both appropriate and genuinely reflects what carers feel is needed. Feedback is incredibly important to us, as it helps shape how we develop our service and ensures that carers’ voices remain at the heart of everything we do.

All feedback will be included in our 2025/2026 Annual Report.
