Over due appointments
If you think that you or your child’s appointment may be overdue and you haven't received an appointment as planned, you can call the cardiac secretaries who will do their best to help. You can find the secretary's telephone number at the top of either a previous clinic letter or by calling the hospital switchboard and asking to be put through to the secretary. It is especially important to chase the appointment if you or your child are usually seen every 3-6 months and this appointment has not happened as expected.
