Online services – Affinity Care

Our calls can take a bit longer as we care navigate every patient to the appropriate care providers to ensure their problem is dealt with correctly.

If you need to cancel your appointment please let us know, you can ring us or alternatively you can send a text message to the phone number on your appointment reminder message with the word CANCEL and this will notify us to cancel your appointment.

You can also cancel your appointment via the Airmid app.

Appointments booked in advance have a higher rate of DNAs (where patients do not attend their appointment). Also we often find that patients fail to cancel appointments that are booked in advance if the problem resolves itself.

You no longer need to wear a face mask or face covering in our practices if you don’t want to, all our staff in patient facing roles will be wearing a face mask for staff and patient safety. Face masks will still be available in all practices if you require one
