A specialist nurse will see you. Your first appointment usually lasts around 1 hour. Follow-up appointments usually last around 30 minutes.
At the appointment, we'll discuss your health, medicines and care plans with you.
We'll arrange a follow-up appointment before you leave the clinic.

We'll write to your GP and any other specialists involved in your care about the consultation. We'll send a copy of this letter to you. The letter will include any changes to your medicines and discussions about your treatment and care.
