Abstract

We have examined the problem of default from diabetes clinics over a 12 month period at our Diabetes Centre. Of 7,015 appointments 1,228 (17.5%) patients did not attend, and 165 (2.4%) cancelled. There was no seasonal variation and default rates were lower for β€˜special’ clinics (p<0.01). The overall default rate of 20% gives cause for concern, and demands attempts to define reasons for default and to improve attendance.
