In order to schedule your first appointment, you will need to secure a letter of referral from your General Practitioner (GP) or from your doctor at the emergency department (if applicable). This referral is required by law, and we are not able to review you if you do not provide it.
Once you have your referral, contact us to book your appointment. A member of our team will ask you to provide some further detail about your medical history and current symptoms. They may also contact your referring doctor, if neccessary, prior to your appointment being made. All of your information is treated confidentially.
During your appointment, Prof. Al Muderis will review your medical history and symptoms with you. He may also perform a phsyical examination of the affected area, and ask you to complete imaging procedures (including X-rays and CT-scans) and any other tests which may be neccessary to allow for a complete medical assessment.
Your treatment options will be explained to you, and you will have a chance to ask any questions you may have. In conversation, and with respect to your specific needs and goals, you will be offered a treatment plan that provides for the best possible outcome.
We will normally provide feedback to your referring doctor while you are present, to ensure accuracy and transparency.
Please note that, when you attend your appointment, you may be joined by other a team member (registrar, junior doctor, fellow or other medical professional) undergoing training. Their presence is permitted only under direct supervision.
Appointment times can vary, and may run longer if your condition is very complex. It is normal for your first appointment to be longer than your follow-up appointments.
