Morning

[Vonnieruth]

What is meant by a normal appointment I was told this by clerk in acute medicine appointment deptment She said my referral to AF clinic was a normal appointment

[Annekw]

There is a difference between a Booking In appointment ie a first appointment and a follow up appointment , the time given to each appointment varies.

[Vonnieruth in reply to Annekw]

Hi thanks for replying It's a follow up Had my echo scan and twenty four hour ECG.

[Buffafly]

I wondered if that might mean 'not urgent'?

[Vonnieruth in reply to Buffafly]

I hope in a way it does

[Finvola in reply to Buffafly]

That would be my thought too. Where I live they are called routine and urgent referrals.

[Vonnieruth in reply to Finvola]

Well no appointment through yet since I was told beginning of May Fingers crossed

[jeanjeannie50]

Yes, I agree it sounds like it a 'none urgent' appointment.
