You can contact the clinic secretary directly to reschedule your appointment to another date. Check the letter you received confirming your appointment for the contact details you need. The clinic secretary contact details are also available on the consultant section of the website under the name of your consultant.

Each specialty has different length waiting lists, so it is difficult to give an exact timeframe, but rest assured we will issue an appointment as soon as possible.  Appointments are given based on clinical need – generally routine or urgent.

You will receive a text message confirming that we have received your referral for an outpatient appointment.

Sometimes when we get a referral from a GP to a service (rather than to a particular Consultant) we will place those patients on the shortest waiting list for that service.

If your GP specifies a Consultant then we will try to make sure that you see that doctor. Sometimes a GP will refer to a specialty or a service (Orthopaedics for instance). In that case your referral will be reviewed by the Medical Team and you will be placed on the waiting list for a Consultant with sub-specialist expertise in the area specific to your needs (for example, knee surgery is a sub-specialty of orthopaedics)
