Manx Care respond to Cardiology Clinic cancellations

Wed, 04 Oct 2023


Following the cancellation of a number of cardiology appointments late last week, Manx Care want to “reassure” patients that these cardiology clinics will be reinstated as planned from next week (week commencing October 9).

According to Manx Care the cancellations took place because the clinics “did not have a doctor available to undertake the clinics”.

The reinstated clinics will be covered by its existing team of cardiology consultants, who have “kindly agreed to step in” – they will take these appointments on alongside their usual workload, to try to address the high demand placed upon the service.

Therefore if you were due to have a Cardiology appointment from next week do attend as planned.

Those who were due to have their appointment this week will be contacted by Manx Care’s administration team and booked into upcoming clinics as soon as possible.

The Patient Information Centre will contact each patient personally to ensure they are still able to attend their planned appointments.

Manx Care added that it understands that the cancellations will have caused concern for many of its patients and their families and apologise for this and “hope that patients can be reassured that their appointments will be reinstated, or rearranged for those affected this week”.
