Rearrange or cancel clinic appointment

at Addenbrooke's

We can't treat an empty chair

Every year at Addenbrooke's thousands of people fail to keep their appointments. If we have no warning, we can't give the slot to someone else who really wants it.

This really matters to us. It is costly for the hospital and wastes staff time and resources. Most of all it impacts on the length of time others have to wait for their appointments.

If you cannot make your appointment, no longer need it or want to rearrange it please let us know.
