During your consultation

You may see either your consultant or another doctor working in the same team. If you feel particularly strongly about seeing a female or male doctor, please let the clinic nurse know when you arrive.

The nurse may also carry out some provisional tests, such as testing a urine sample or measuring your blood pressure.

Medical students
Some of our hospitals are teaching hospitals. This means that doctors teach medical students during their clinics. If you would prefer not to have medical students present during your consultation, please inform a member of staff.
