Your First Appointment
When you first arrive at reception you will be asked to complete the registration form, if you have not already done so, and provide us with a proof of identity such as a passport or driving licence. If you are being seen in the fertility clinic, you will be asked to hand in your completed patient history booklet, or complete it prior to seeing the consultant, if you have not already done so. You will then be asked to wait in our reception area until your appointment. We recommend you arrive 15 minutes before the start of your first consultation to ensure we have time to check all this documentation is complete.
Your consultant will call you through to one of our private consulting rooms for your consultation. We encourage couples attending for fertility to attend the first visit together. If you prefer to come with a friend or relative they can accompany you. You can also request a chaperone to be present at any time.
During the consultation, your Consultant will use your patient history booklet to complete your past medical history and then advise you on the investigation and treatment options best suited to your case. There will be plenty of time for you to ask questions and at the end of consultation a management plan will be agreed. If after the consultation you still have concerns, our reception staff or nurses will be happy to help you and if necessary ask the doctor to contact you.
