Appointments

When you have an appointment to attend, details of the date, time and location you are to attend are in your appointment letter.

Please take time to read your appointment letter as it gives you information about what happens at your appointment and tells you if you need to bring anything with you. It also gives you information about waiting times, what to do if you can’t attend your appointment and how to let us know if your contact details change.

You are welcome to bring a relative or friend with you.

Please bring your medicines with you, or a note of all your medication, when you come for your appointment.

Take your appointment letter with you to hospital. You will need this to access parking on the site.

Please try and arrive at your appointment on time, but if you are running late, let the clinic know as soon possible.

Your GP will not be able to arrange for an earlier appointment unless your condition deteriorates.  If your condition does deteriorate while you are waiting for your appointment, make a new appointment with your GP who will consider what needs to be done.
