General Information

Most outpatient clinics are run under the direction of a consultant specialist with a team of doctors, nurses or other health professionals, who are responsible for your care.

You may not always see the consultant when you attend as an outpatient, but the doctor, nurse or other health professional who has seen you will make them fully aware of your condition.

The outpatient department is extremely busy and whilst every effort is made to keep clinics on time there may be emergencies which cause the clinic to run late. You may also require tests and investigations which require you to wait whilst the test results are analysed and results passed to your doctor.

We suggest that you do not plan other appointments for at least two hours after your outpatients appointment.

 

What to bring with you

Read your appointment letter very carefully as it may ask you to bring certain items with you, or ask you to visit another department for tests before your clinic appointment.

Please remember to bring:

  • Your appointment letter, and any other information that you may have been asked to bring.
  • Medicines or inhalers that you are taking at the moment, including medicines you have bought yourself and any alternative medicines.
  • A small amount of money for car parking and refreshments.
  • Information about any changes in your personal details, for example, if you have a new address or GP.
  • Proof of entitlement to free prescriptions, if appropriate.
  • Proof of entitlement to free travel or help with travel, if appropriate.
  • Any urine or other samples requested by your doctor or nurse.
