I have a hospital appointment later this month but where the hospital is situated there is a confirmed case of corona virus so i shall not be going, it is only a result consultation and if it is that important they can write to me or cancel until the autumn, with emphysema and asthma and always got a cold i decided to not go out so often and spend a lot of time in the house but will go out with the dogs where no people go to have some exercise and some air, stay well everybody

I walked out of mine at maxi facial ASKED lung doctor to check notes see if any other appointment booked
So seen everyone packed in and thought same as you and walked out DEFO agree if not essential ad not bother
You could ask for a phone consultation. If it is to collect and discuss results. i think that should be a sensible idea.
It may be cancelled anyway and replaced by a telephone consultation. That seems to be becoming general practice at the moment.
Enjoy walking your dogs
Take care

Hi Bobbyfloyd., most of our local hospitals are still doing appointments at patients choice or cancelling none urgents. You have made the safest choice for yourself & others. As you say results can be sent via post or telephone. I went to hospital yesterday for preop tests only basic services and coronaviruses pods were in sight and my GP has already changed me to telephone appointments, my op might even be cancelled but fingers crossed as it will give me my mobility back.
