Consultation Procedure

The consultation process begins with taking a ‘history’. This is a discussion with the aim of gaining more knowledge about the presenting condition. It is well known that 90% of diagnoses can be made prior to any examination if a thorough history is taken.

Following this the consultation proceeds to an examination. This will mainly focus on the area of the body from where the symptoms and signs originate from. Further tests may be requested after the examination to allow the doctor to focus in on the main cause for the patient’s symptoms. These may involve blood tests, x-ray investigations as well as endoscopy. All of these will help formulate a treatment pathway for the patient allowing the doctor to discuss both non-surgical and surgical options for their treatment.

The initial consultation process may take anything from 30 minutes to 1 hour.
