One Problem per Appointment
Please remember that clinicians are only allocated time for ONE PROBLEM per APPOINTMENT.
Why?
One problem as safety comes first and can cause a distraction from dealing with your main problem. Ensures no serious illness is missed. Allows the clinician to focus on one area at a time.
What May Help?
Before coming to your appointment, we ask if you can highlight your concerns. Thinking about important information and symptoms. Book another appointment for different areas.
Please also see our Self Help article 'Getting the Most out of a Consultation'.
