How to get an appointment

Your GP or hospital doctor can refer you.

Please call 020 7188 8045 or 020 7188 3755.

Before your appointment

Please bring a list of your medications to your first appointment.

You can bring a friend or relative for support.

During your appointment

Your first appointment can take 2 to 3 hours.

You'll meet your consultant and nurse specialist.

We'll do some tests and arrange any that cannot be done on the day.

We may give you information about treatments.

Your first appointment will be at the hospital. Follow-up appointments may be done on the phone or video.

We aim to give you the time you need. Sometimes appointments can take longer. Your appointment may not always start on time because of this.

After your appointment

We'll send a letter to you and your GP. It will include a summary of the appointment and your treatment plan.

You can contact your nurse specialist on 020 7188 5973 if you need support or advice.
