Example idea · Appointment slots disappear the moment you arrive
Booked at 9am, told at 9.40am that the slot no longer exists and to 'try again tomorrow'.

The problem
The confirmation text said 9:00. At 9:40, after forty minutes in the waiting room, I was told the doctor had been reassigned and my appointment no longer existed. No alternative was offered, no note was made, and the only remedy was to begin again tomorrow — which means taking another morning off work.
What a fair fix looks like
When a booked slot is cancelled by the clinic, it should reappear for the same patient first, within seven days, without a new referral.
