Did you know?
- When you show up on time, you are provided with the best possible care as healthcare professionals can conduct a full treatment.
- When you are late, you miss out on important time with healthcare professionals who are obligated to reduce the time they spend with you, so they can be ready to provide care to the next patient.
- When you miss an appointment without warning, you may not be able to have another appointment fast and you prevent other patients from obtaining care as there is not enough time to reschedule other patients.
TIPS FOR YOU
- Be confident in declining an appointment when you are unsure if the time is right for you.
- Take ownership of your health and book your next appointment yourself, as you know your availability and preferences the best.
- Make your health a priority by showing up on time.
Remember, showing up on time helps keep you and other community members, including your neighbours, friends and family healthy.
