Did Not Attend Appointment Data
When an appointment is missed without being cancelled, that time cannot always be offered to another patient. Here you can see our latest figures, explore previous monthly data and find out how to cancel an appointment.
What does DNA mean?
DNA stands for “Did Not Attend”. It describes an appointment where the patient did not attend and the practice was not told beforehand. We understand that plans and circumstances can change. Letting us know promptly gives us the best opportunity to offer the appointment to somebody else.
