New payment policy

Firstly, we wish to thank those of you who have paid at the time of your appointment with us. We have appreciated that immensely. We understand that there are a number of reasons you may be unable to pay at the time, but intend to pay the next day, however remembering, or other issues, means it can be forgotten or missed.


Unfortunately, following up on late payments takes a significant amount of time and resources.


We have now implemented our Patient fees and outstanding debt policy and our Did Not Attend (DNA) / Late Arrival / Late Cancellation Policy. Please be sure to check these out on our website to understand what this means for you.

Thank you for supporting us, and please remember, if finance is an issue, please have a quiet word with our Practice Manager.
