that was easy, had an appointment to book and was able to book on line, seems to have gone smoothly so far!!!! I will reserve judgement but it beats hanging on the phone for ages.

Good oh.... don't have to nag, lol!!

Our surgery is supposed to be going that way sometime this year.... as you said, beats hanging around on the phone for hours!!

What a great idea........getting appointments at our surgery is so difficult.......perhaps they will adopt this system........is it a general thing, or are they just trying it out in certain areas.....

Sally, this is Gloucester hospital, you get a letter from the surgery with a password and patient number, you also get a choice of hospitals (I had 2), you then go on the website and click to book an appointment. I think if you wanted to change the date/time you would have to use the booking phone number instead of going on line.

Daff, I suspect this clinic is one of those held once a month and is late because it is held with consultants who are in surgery at one of the hospitals during the day. had the same problem before. still shows there is no urgency.
glad you got yours brought forward.

Lol Ann... it was the 1620 that made me giggle!!.... I read it three times before it clicked that it was the time, not the year, lololol!!

Love

Daff xxxx

ps.... when is Septeber.......... I meant September, of course... that'll teach me not to giggle at other's typo's, lolol!!

don't think I fancy an appointment 1620s style!!!

Oh yes .....just you wait .........I did this about 3 weeks ago .....

good got the appointment ..got a letter to say the hospital and the time ....perfect .....then!! got another leter changing the date and time same hospital ............for 4 weeks later .....good sorted !!

Then ten days ago got a letter to change date back to first one and different time and DIFFERENT hospital!!!

so I rang the number on the letter .........they dont take calls for the dept I needed so I have to leave a message and they will get back to me ....thats was 8 days ago and appointment is tomorrow !!!! I think!!

Kemp which authority? Have you contacted your doctor over this? that is terrible. Very encouraging not!!
