In my experience I do get a text usually a day or so before each appointment, and they are either automated or the person sending them is exceptionally dry in their delivery. Might be worth asking next time you're in if you can be added to this system, as it might not be automatic for all new registrations. 30-40 minute appointments are probably reviews of some kind, diabetes, asthma, etc? or perhaps post natal exams with the high number of babies in the area? Contraception clincs maybe? Either way, seems a shame.

new to the forums but had to register after i overheard a female dr say 9 appointment slots had been rendered useless this morning after patients failed to turn up for 30 and 40 minute appointments! This is not a problem DMC can be blamed for, that's lazy patients forgetting they booked or not having the decency to call and cancel. Hope everyone with a sick baby got an appointment this morning!
