Cancel appointments

Availability managers can cancel appointments at your site.

How to cancel an individual appointment

  1. Select the relevant site.
  2. Click on 'View availability' in the top menu or on the 'View availability and manage appointments for your site' at the bottom of the landing page.

Manage your appointments - view availability tab

  1. Find the week when the appointment is scheduled for.
  2. Click on 'View week' and then find the date of the appointment you want to cancel.

Manage your appointments - view week

  1. Click on 'View daily appointments'.

Manage your appointments - view daily appointments

  1. Find the appointment that you want to cancel and click 'Cancel' in the Action column.

Manage your appointments - Cancel scheduled appointments

  1. Double check that you are cancelling the correct appointment.
  2. If you want to cancel this appointment, click 'Yes, I want to cancel this appointment' and click 'Continue'.

Manage your appointments - confirm cancel appointment

The appointment will move to the 'Cancelled' tab on the relevant date.

Manage your appointments - appointment moved to cancelled tab

  1. If you do not want to cancel this appointment anymore, click 'No, I do not want to cancel this appointment'.

You will then be redirected back to the Scheduled appointments tab and the appointment will still be listed.

Manage your appointments - no, do not cancel appointment

  1. If the individual has provided an email address and/or a mobile number at the time of booking they will be sent a notification. The notification will inform the citizen that the site has cancelled their appointment and provide information on how to rebook an appointment if required.

In some cases citizens might not provide any contact information, so there is no way to tell the patient about the cancellation and they will most likely turn up for their appointment.


Cancelling more than one appointment at a time

Manage Your Appointments does not have the functionality for sites to cancel bulk appointments. This is something that is being developed for a future release.


Rescheduling Appointments

Manage Your Appointments does not have the functionality for sites to reschedule appointments. This is something that is being developed for future release. Citizens are able to reschedule their own appointment on the National Booking Service.
