@clarercgp@FordCarole against charging for use, but not charging for attempted use- penalise those who don't know any better? -
@DrCJohn@clarercgp@FordCarole all suggestions on how we cut down missed GP appointments v welcome. Good to have sensible debate+ideas. -
@CLeslieMP
@clarercgp@FordCarole what is the research about why appointments are missed? Let's base whatever we do on evidence -
@DrCJohn @CLeslieMP@clarercgp@FordCarole Most sensible comment I've read on this topic; likely to happen though? -
@MatSilk@DrCJohn @CLeslieMP@clarercgp My surgery operates 3 strikes & your out policy - 3 appointments missed without prior cancellation -
@FordCarole@MatSilk@DrCJohn@clarercgp what have been the effects? Has it made a difference on rates of missed appointments? -
@CLeslieMP
@MatSilk@DrCJohn@clarercgp May be surgeries who do this should be surveyed for results? Would expect it to be a deterrent -
@FordCarole@MatSilk@DrCJohn@clarercgp I would be fascinated to know results.
