Appointments cancelled without any notification given

My child's appointment has been cancelled on two separate occasions without any prior notification. On the first instance, I made the journey to attend only to discover the appointment had been scheduled incorrectly, and my child was not yet eligible for their scheduled procedure. This situation could have been prevented through more thorough checking of booking procedures and a simple call to reschedule. The second cancellation occurred when I arrived to be informed that the healthcare professional was unavailable due to illness. While I understand that unforeseen circumstances do happen, patients should have been contacted immediately and alternative arrangements made. A brief phone call would have prevented an unnecessary trip. Additionally, I had administered medication in preparation for the appointment as instructed, only for it to prove unnecessary on both occasions. This is frustrating and could easily be resolved through better communication systems. If staffing constraints make phone calls difficult, an automated text notification system would be a simple solution requiring minimal effort to inform patients of cancellations.
