Patients: Cancelling your appointment

We understand that sometimes unexpected events can prevent you from keeping your appointment. However, one in five of our patients fail to let us know, costing about £50 each time. This also has an enormous impact on staff time management and waiting times.

If you can't keep your appointment contact us as soon as possible - we will give your appointment to another patient.
