For telephone appointments, we'll phone you as close to your appointment time as possible. Please try to be free for 30 minutes before and after your appointment time. Please make sure that you are somewhere quiet and private, and that you have a good signal if using a mobile phone.

We may ask you to have blood and urine tests before your telephone appointment.

We'll write to your GP and any other health professionals involved in your care about the consultation. If you need a follow-up appointment, we'll arrange these later, once clinic dates are confirmed.
