Failure to Attend Appointments (DNA's)
In an effort to ensure patient appointments are used efficiently ie not wasted, the Practice has a policy for patients who fail to attend their appointment as follows:
- On the first occasion a patient fails to attend he/she will receive a letter or text about this.
- If there is a second failure to attend, a second letter or text will be sent, issuing a notification that they are at risk of being removed from our patient list.
- If a third failure to attend occurs in the same 6 month period, the patient will receive a letter of notification informing them that they are to be removed from our list and will require to find another doctor. The 6 month period maybe extended if patients regularly fail to attend.
Please support us in trying to save wasted appointments.
Thank you.

Business Structure
The practice is owned by the doctors working here, the partnership is known as Dr James and Partners and all the doctors are general partners.
NHS England require that the net earnings of doctors engaged in the practice is publicised, and the required disclosure is shown below.
However it should be noted that the prescribed method for calculating earnings is potentially misleading because it takes no account of
how much time doctors spend working in the practice, and should not be used to form any judgement about GP earnings, nor to make
any comparison with any other practice.
The average pay for GPs working in SCORTON MEDICAL PRACTICES in the last financial year was £75266 before tax and National
Insurance. This is for 2 full time GPs, 2 part time GPs and 1 part time salaried GP who worked in the practice for more than 6 months
