Your basic contact details will be provided including Full Name, DOB, Mobile number and address. You will also fill out a health questionnaire upon your appointment. During your booking we will require your card details, these will be held securely in the cloud and only used if you fail to make your appointment or cancel within 48 hours notice at which point a 50% cancellation fee will be redeemed.
