  • A list of your current medications and any allergies
  • A support person (if you wish), especially if you expect to discuss complex treatment options
    
• Preparation
  • Some appointments may require fasting, urine collection, or other preparation. If this applies to your appointment, our staff will provide clear instructions at the time of booking.

  • Please arrive 10–15 minutes early to allow time for registration and paperwork.
  • Our friendly reception team will confirm your details and ensure all necessary information is ready for your specialist.

  • Our clinic is designed to be welcoming and professional. If you have accessibility needs (e.g., wheelchair access, interpreter services), please let us know ahead of time so we can make your visit as smooth as possible.

Your consultation is designed to be thorough and collaborative:

• Medical Review
  • Your specialist will review your medical history, symptoms, and any results you have brought with you.
• Discussion
  • You will have the opportunity to explain your concerns, ask questions, and gain a clear understanding of your condition.
• Examination & Investigations
  • A physical examination may be performed.
  • If further tests or imaging are needed, your specialist will arrange them and explain the reasons.
• Management Plan
  • Together, you and your specialist will discuss treatment options, which may include lifestyle advice, medications, procedures, or ongoing monitoring.
  • Where appropriate, a follow-up appointment will be scheduled to track your progress.

We ensure your ongoing care is well supported:

• Communication with Your GP
  • A detailed summary will be sent to your referring doctor to keep them updated about your diagnosis and management plan.
• Further Tests or Referrals
  • If additional investigations or referrals are required, our team will help organise these and provide you with clear instructions.
