Patient Q&A
Patient Q&A: Should I recheck a specialist's schedule before travelling?
Yes. A recent Qingpu clinic notice shows why a published timetable should be followed by direct appointment confirmation.

Qingpu district's September 9 specialist timetable includes a cancelled clinic and states that the schedule is for reference, subject to actual attendance and clinic notices. That dated list is an example of changing availability; it is not a schedule for September 10 or a future visit.
Before setting out, ask the hospital to confirm the doctor's name, department, campus, date, arrival time and booking reference. International visitors should also check which identity document to bring and whether interpreting has been arranged. If the session changes, ask the hospital about rebooking and its cancellation rules before changing transport or accommodation. A public timetable alone does not confirm your reservation.
