🩸 Meet our new Phlebotomist, Trinity!

Some of you may already recognise Trinity from our reception team, but she has recently completed her training to become a Phlebotomist! πŸ‘

By developing her skills and taking on this new role, Trinity is helping us to increase the number of blood test appointments available at the practice and make it easier for our patients to access appointments.

🩸 Blood test appointments are now available Monday to Friday, 8am–12pm.

A huge well done to Trinity on her new role and for continuing to develop her skills to support our patients and the practice! 🧑

We would like to apologise for any confusion regarding a message received by some of our patients today about a walk-in advice service at the practice being provided by a third party.

This event took place yesterday and is no longer running. We are currently investigating why the message was received by patients today.

Please do not attend the practice for the walk-in service. Patients with pre-booked appointments should continue to attend as normal.

We apologise for any inconvenience or confusion caused and thank you for your understanding.

πŸ“’ Help Us Reduce Missed Appointments

We've recently seen an increase in patients not attending their pre-booked appointments.

Every missed appointment is time that could have been offered to another patient waiting to be seen. With demand for appointments continuing to be high, even one missed appointment can make a real difference.

If you no longer need your appointment or are unable to attend, please let us know as soon as possible so we can offer it to someone else.

You can cancel your appointment:
πŸ“ž By calling the practice
πŸ“± Via the NHS App (where applicable)
πŸ’» Through our online services

Thank you to everyone who lets us know when they can't attend. Your support helps us make the best use of our appointments and ensures we can care for as many patients as possible.

Thank you,
The Dove Medical Practice πŸ’™
