Please make sure that you call at the reception desk before leaving the department. If you need a return visit we will make an appointment for you and give you an appointment card with the new date and time. This will also show your hospital number. If you are being discharged from the clinic or need to come into hospital, please tell the receptionist. Sometimes we may need to change your appointment; if so we will get in touch with you.

Your GP will normally receive a typed report within one week of your visit to the clinic.

Prescriptions

If the doctor decides that new medication is required, your GP will be contacted.

Prescription charges and fares

If you receive Income Support, Family Credit or hold an AG2 or AG3 certificate you may be exempt from paying prescription charges or fares, but please bring proof of exemption with you, e.g. your benefit book.
