Check your appointment site
Do not travel using only the practice name. Check the site named in your text, letter, NHS App or Patient Access account.
Use the right phone number
Cancellation numbers are site-specific. Calling the wrong site can delay a cancellation or rebooking.
Allow rural travel time
Bridge and Littlebourne are outside central Canterbury, so allow extra time for parking, village traffic and bus timing.
