Slot hunter

1. Keep the appointment you have until an earlier one is actually booked. Cancelling without a new slot puts you at the back again.
2. In your fund’s own app or site, look at other clinics of the same fund and the same doctor, if the list allows it. MEDHELP does not enter the account and does not watch anyone else’s clinic.
3. Turn on the fund’s own reminders in its app. We do not see cancellations and we do not push you when a slot opens.
4. If the app is silent, call the fund: *2700. That is their line, not ours.
5. A long wait is also a paperwork question: Form 17 and a supplementary plan. The rights navigator assembles that step. We do not say the fund must pay for a private visit.

There is no live hunt for someone else’s slot here. That would need a login to the fund in your name and a reading of the queue. We do not do that.
