Important information about NHS treatment
Please note that NHS treatment is provided as a course of care, which must be completed within a limited timeframe. If treatment is delayed or appointments are cancelled multiple times, the course may need to be closed and a new examination will be required before further treatment can continue. This may incur a new NHS charge.
Please be aware that failure to attend appointments, repeated late cancellations, or insufficient notice (less than 24 hours) may result in removal from our NHS list and your place being offered to another patient.
In addition, if treatment appointments are cancelled on two or more consecutive occasions, a new examination may be required before treatment can continue.
