Consultation
Our advisors are trained to help you find out about the
Consultant Surgeons we work with, including information on their
specialist training, specialist registration, qualifications,
accreditation, background experience and skills. Our staff will
guide you through the reassuring steps you can independently take
to ensure that the Consultant Surgeon you choose has the correct
credentials and skills to match your personal surgery
needs.
Once you have gathered sufficient information and feel confident
enough to meet a Consultant Surgeon to discuss your prospective
needs, our advisory staff will be happy to make an appointment for
you to meet the consultant surgeon of your choice.
At the consultation, the consultant surgeon will endeavour to
ensure that you have a full understanding of all aspects of any
potential surgery treatment you are considering as well as the
benefits and risks of all procedure options. All advice and an
assessment of whether surgery is appropriate for you is given
directly by the Consultant Surgeon who will actually perform any
agreed surgery.
In order to arrange a consultation appointment with an
appropriate surgeon, please telephone or e-mail your local
hospital, which will be personally staffed as a minimum between the
hours of 9 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday, although many of our
hospitals will be able to personally deal with your enquiry after
office hours and at weekends.
Our staff will also be happy to discreetly return any telephone
messages left after normal office hours if you leave your contact
details on our confidential answer phone at any time.
