Please be aware, our appointments slots are 10 minutes, therefore please think about the below before attending your appointment and what’s achievable during this time.
One appointment, one problem, one patient
Before you see the clinician:
- Work out what you are worried about
- Think about how to describe your symptoms
In the consultation:
- Say the important information first
- Explain your concerns
Too many problems is unsafe
- It distracts the clinician from dealing with your main problem thoroughly
- Clinicians may be more likely to rush and make a mistake
- The clinician can arrange a follow-up appointment if required to deal with another problem
