Every year thousands of people fail to keep their appointments. If we have no warning, we can’t give the slot to someone else who really wants it. It is costly for the hospital and wastes staff time and resources. Most of all it impacts on the length of time others have to wait for their appointments.
If you cannot make your appointment, no longer need it or want to rearrange it please let us know using the details below.
You can do this by telephone if your appointment:
- Is in the next 24 hours
- Is an inpatient appointment
- Is at the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre
- You would prefer not to use our online service
