Missed hospital appointment - what now?

I’ve been referred to a rheumatologist and they have requested I have several tests done. One of these should have been this morning but I completely forgot - a mix of Sundays being unusual for hospital appointments and an unwell baby. I also didn’t get any text reminders for this appointment which is so unusual because I always get them for every other appointment.
What will happen now? I’m really hoping I won’t be taken off the waiting list for the tests.

I would call asap to rebook as a lot of hospitals have a policy to discharge for missed first appointment

Equally a lot don’t, the thing to do is to ensure you contact them, most will just rebook. Mistakes happen, people forget or something happens, it really shouldn’t be the end of the world
