This varies for each patient and consultation but there are many things that are typical.
You will be asked to complete some questionnaires, including a patient history form, so we have the most up-to-date information. You may also be asked to have other people, such as your GP, to provide information about you.
In the appointment, you will discuss your initial concerns with a clinician and come to a shared understanding of what may be causing the issues. You'll then agree a treatment plan. This may involve prescribing medication or psychological therapy with one of our doctors. Follow-up sessions will be arranged as required.
A report/letter will be written outlining the content of the appointment. This will include a clinical conclusion and a plan going forward.
We may also ask for feedback at various points. We measure our success by patient results and feedback so that we can continually improve our practice.
