In the unlikely event that I am unwell at short notice, an alternative slot will be offered as soon as possible.
Regular appointments
You may prefer to have a regular appointment but please note that although I will endeavour to accommodate individual needs, I cannot guarantee that this time/day will be available every week. This may be due to outside commitments or annual leave.
