Introduction....

Hi , that’s excellent news, and welcome to the online community. When is your next annual check up? 

It should be this month but I haven't got my appointment through yet. The last two appointments haven't been on time so I'm waiting until the end of the month and will then ring to chase it up. I know how busy the clinic has become over the years and I don't like to pester them but this safety net is important.

Yes sounds like a plan, my clinic too has got a lot busier over the last 4 year. It’s not a pester though really as the letter may have been sent and you haven’t received it so it’s a legitimate chase us to avoid an appointment being wasted. I do get a text message to remind me of every appointment and that if I don’t attend it wastes £160, I don’t know if your hospital does the same.

Good luck for your next appointment. 

Thanks. Their ears must have been burning because I've come home to find an appointment letter in my post! Fortunately it's only 3 weeks away. Hopefully they won't find anything that I'm not aware of!
