- The doctor will write a letter to your GP and any other doctor involved in your care. This will normally simply be a record of what has happened in the clinic with any suggestions for future treatment.
- Your doctor will normally get this first letter within a week.
- Ask the clinic doctor if you would like to receive a copy of the letter.
The results of your tests
- If you have had tests the clinic doctor will receive the results over the next couple of weeks.
- If there are any important abnormalities you may be rung or the clinic doctor may contact your GP.
- Usually the clinic doctor will wait for all the results to come back. He/she will then write a letter with the test results to your GP. It will include further suggestions for treatment.
Keep in touch with your GP
The doctor in the clinic may suggest changes to your tablets but your GP will prescribe these. It is therefore important that you keep in contact with your GP.
Will I have another appointment at the clinic?
Most patients only attend the clinic on one occasion. However the clinic doctor will sometimes make a further appointment to see how you are getting on or to discuss the results of your tests with you.
