What to expect at your appointment
Your first appointment can take up to an hour. You will be a seen by a nurse who will ask you some questions about your general health, and will agree a care plan with you. The nurse will also ask you how you would like to be contacted, for example by text, telephone, letter or follow-up appointment.
Sometimes we may have student nurses present at your consultation but we will ask for your consent for them to be present. If you would like to have someone with you during your consultation, please tell a member of the team. You can bring a friend or relative.
Confidentiality
We will not tell other people about your visit. It is up to you to tell them if you wish. This applies to everyone, including people younger than 16 years of age.
We will only pass on confidential information without your permission if we need to protect you or someone else from very serious harm. We will always discuss this with you first.
If you want to know more about confidentiality, please ask one of the clinic staff.
