I have an appointment soon and have not heard from you
We are attempting to contact all patients in advance of your appointment. If you have not heard from us and your appointment is less than three days away contact us as detailed on our website.
Due to the current situation with coronavirus (COVID-19), we have significantly reduced our clinical activity. Each case has been reviewed by a clinician.
Patients have either had their face-to-face appointment converted to a telephone consultation or have had their appointment deferred and added to a waiting list to be booked at a later date.
