Changing your outpatient appointment

We kindly ask that you make every effort to attend your appointment.

If you cannot make it, then please let us know as soon as possible. This allows us to offer this appointment to someone else in need and arrange an alternative appointment for you. That way you get the treatment you need whilst also helping others and keeping our waiting times down.

You can change or cancel your appointment by using the contact details on your appointment letter. Alternatively, you can use these contact details.
