Cancel or change an appointment

Around 1 in 10 hospital outpatient appointments are missed every year in England. Missed appointments can lead to worse patient care and waste NHS resources. 

If you are unable to attend, please let us know at least 48 hours before your scheduled appointment. This will allow us to offer this time to someone else in need. 

Please use the form below to cancel or reschedule your outpatient appointment. This form cannot be used within 48 hours of the appointment time, to cancel during the 48 hour period, please ring the service directly.
