Talking Therapies - appointment cancelled with 40 mins notice

Jalapeno

Feeling P'd off that my scheduled Talking Therapies appointment was cancelled this morning with 40 (well 43 to be exact) mins notice

You have to wait (6 wks) for a slot so have it in you mind it will happen. 

I have alerts on my phone on Silent, so I don't react to every ping (also no social media on there for same reason) and missed the cancellation text, so with 5 mins to go , at my PC logged in, and then noticed a msg on my phone, cancellation.  arghh

Understand it could be for good reason - like Therapist is sick or more urgent priorities - I'm not at risk.  Non-the-less annoyed, although hopefully next appointment will go ahead.

Sorry having a mini-vent.  I'll move on, in a minute.

  • Hi, I'm new here but saw this and I can understand your frustrations. I have all my own notifications on silent as well, and this has happened to me twice before. Really I should unmute my phone but the constant messages and calls induce my anxiety so I leave it.

    It's always annoying though when someone cancels, especially when it's something that's to help you. Hopefully their reasons for cancelling are genuine, I like to think they are rather than they just couldn't be bothered with me that day.

    Hope you get a new appointment soon!

    I'm glad you vented. It's better to get it off your chest than keep it bottled up deep inside.
