Our approach, your advantage
Direct access to specialists
We connect you to experienced clinicians without the hassle of travel. Your questions are answered in real time.
Flexible scheduling for busy lives
We offer appointments that work around your routine. You get the help you need when you need it.
Continuity of care from anywhere
We provide consistent support no matter your location. Your treatment plan stays on track.
Telephone and online video consultations
As well as face-to-face consultations, we also offer specialist help to people living a long distance from any of our clinics or abroad and those confined to their homes.
On-line video conferencing consultations
In addition to a telephone consultation, it is also easy to use video-linking facilities such as those provided by Skype, iChat, AIM, etc., which have the added advantage of you and the specialist being able to speak face-to-face, provided you have access to a suitably equipped computer or mobile phone. Additionally, users can benefit from the economy of making voice and/or video calls over the Internet.
To Arrange a phone consultation
-
Check the health conditions listed on this website to confirm that your problem/condition is amongst those treated in our clinics. If in doubt, contact the Clinic directly by phone or email to confirm.
-
Contact the Clinic to arrange for a Medical Questionnaire to be sent to you; this should be completed prior to your appointment.
-
If you require funding by your local NHS Primary Care Trust, it is essential that you discuss a possible referral with your GP; this process often takes a few weeks or even months, see NHS referrals
-
Arrange an initial telephone appointment at a mutually convenient time; if you tire easily, make sure that another member of your family or a friend is with you to communicate with the specialist. The initial appointment is about an hour.
-
During the consultation, your medical history and symptoms are discussed, points are clarified and an appropriate action plan is discussed and agreed upon.
-
We post to you information relevant to your condition and sample containers required for blood tests or other investigations, as necessary.
-
Blood samples are collected via your local practice or private hospital (most areas have visiting phlebotomists or competent nurses for housebound patients). Other tests can be posted to various laboratories directly.
-
Results are discussed along with your progress, and further recommendations are made in the follow-up consultation(s). These appointments normally last 30-45 mins.
