We also aim to see you within 30 minutes of your appointment time; however, delays can happen, if a delay should occur we would give you an explanation. We will be able to offer you an alternative appointment if you do not wish to wait.

If you are unable to keep your appointment, please inform us as soon as possible so that we can offer it to another patient.
