After your consultation

Once you have seen a doctor, a member of staff will tell you if you need to visit other parts of the hospital for further tests, such as X-rays. The clinic nurse will explain what the tests involve and how to get there, so please ensure you report to the nurse before you go.

Prescriptions
If your doctor or nurse gives you a prescription you must collect this from the hospital pharmacy. To find out where the pharmacy is and what its opening hours are, select the relevant hospital below:
• Charing Cross Hospital
• Hammersmith Hospital
• Queen Charlotte’s & Chelsea Hospital
• St Mary’s Hospital
• Western Eye Hospital

Please note that, as with all NHS prescriptions, you will have to pay a charge unless you are exempt. If you are exempt, you will need to bring proof of your exemption with you, such as an income support book.

Follow-up appointments
If you need another appointment a member of staff will explain how you can book one. You usually do this at reception before you leave.
