Clinic Times

The clinic opens Monday to Friday from 08.00 to 16.00. We run a Saturday follow up clinic once a month for people who are unable to attend during the week.

What should you expect?

The aim of your first appointment is to make a provisional diagnosis of your condition.  It is essential for us to take a thorough history of your current problems, as well as a medical history.  Therefore, please bring with you any information regarding your medical history that may be relevant, including details of any medication that you have been prescribed.  The medical history will be followed by a medical examination

How long will it take?

Your first appointment will take approximately 60-90 minutes to allow time for questions.

Will you need to come again?

At the first appointment, a programme of treatment may be recommended and a review appointment will then be arranged.  In most cases, this will be in 4-6 weeks, followed by reviews at first 3 then 6 monthly intervals.  The time allocated for follow-up appointments is generally 30 – 45 minutes, depending upon your specific needs.
