August at Knowsley Medical Centre – What We’ve Been Up To! 
August was a busy month here at Knowsley Medical Centre, and we wanted to give you a quick behind-the-scenes look at what’s been happening:

AppointmentsWe booked 1,797 appointments in total – covering phone consultations, sick notes, results, home visits, and care home visits.
Missed Appointments (DNAs)Sadly, 87 appointments were missed without notice. The highest number of DNAs came from the 16–45 age group (29.6%). If you can’t make it, please let us know – every appointment counts and could help someone else.
