Your first visit

1. Your initial consultation will take around 1 hour. Allow 20 minutes for subsequent visits.

2. We have a car park but if you prefer to park in the road you can park opposite for 2 hours at any time. On our side you cannot park 10am-11am or 2pm-3pm unless you have a permit.

3. The clinic entrance is round the side of the building.

4. On arrival you will be welcomed by one of our receptionists who will issue you with a questionnaire for you to complete. The details required are:

• Contact details
• Personal details - date of birth etc
• Current complaint.
• Summary medical history for yourself and your immediate family
• Past and present medication

5. When you have completed the form your practitioner will introduce him/herself and take you through to the consultation room. Your consultation will include:

• A history of your presenting complaint.
• A detailed  medical history including the medical history of your relatives.
• A physical examination relevant to your complaint and medical history.
  Most people will need to go to the changing cubicle to undress down to their underwear.
  Ladies will be given an examination/treatment gown.
  Dressing gowns are also available.
• If your practitioner decides that further investigations such as x-rays, scans or blood tests are necessary he/she will help organising this - either through a private referral or through your GP.
• If no further investigations are necessary your practitioner will explain the examination findings, the diagnosis, the treatment plan and the expected outcome.
• If you are happy to proceed your first treatment can commence there and then.

6. At the end of the visit there will be further opportunity to ask any questions you may have thought of.

7. Then it is time to get dressed and get back to the front desk to arrange your future appointments and payment.
