Your consultation
It can be very helpful to bring a family member or friend to your appointment. A support person often picks up details you might miss and can help you think through the information later.
Many patients also find it useful to write down any questions or concerns beforehand. This ensures we cover what matters most to you and allows us to give clear, personalised answers.
Your appointment is your time, and we encourage you to use it in whatever way helps you feel informed and confident.
We will usually give you an information booklet to take away to help you understand your condition and treatment options.
We encourage you to take as much time as you need to reach a decision on your treatment plan.
