About your appointment

When you arrival you'll be asked to use the self check-in at the reception area (a receptionist will be available to help if needed).

Appointments last around 30 minutes, and you may need to have further tests and investigations before a treatment plan is decided. You will have the opportunity to discuss this and any concerns you may have, during your appointment. 

If you have an outpatient appointment, please remember

  • to bring a list of your medications to each appointment 
  • to notify the receptionist of any changes to your personal details, for example address or telephone number
  • if you need to cancel or change your appointment, please notify us as soon as possible
  • when you attend for a follow-up appointment you may not always be seen by your consultant, it may be by another member of the team.
