Getting a referral

Your appointment

What to wear

In preparation for a possible examination, wear some comfortable, removable clothing.

Things to bring 

You need the bring these items with you to your appointment:

• your appointment letter 
• medications including those you are currently taking, or a recent list
• information of change of details, for example, new address, GP or contact details

Upon arrival

Take your appointment letter to the reception desk. The receptionist confirms your details and directs you to the waiting area. 

During clinic

You are seen by a doctor, who specialises in Neurology or a Clinical Nurse Specialist. There may be a junior doctor or medical student present. He / she would only be observing, and we can see you without them present if you prefer.

A clinic nurse is always on hand to act as your chaperone and answer any of your queries. We ask  some questions about your general health. Provide details of any existing medical conditions and of your current complaint.

Physical examination

Your nervous system is a complex network of message pathways. It may seem odd testing your reflexes in your feet if you have a headache, or looking at your eyes if your hands are
shaky. This is because information from simple tests can aid a diagnosis.

After your appointment

It isn’t always possible to reach a diagnosis on your first visit to clinic. It may be necessary to have tests. The nurse tells you what happens next, including waiting times.

Technicians perform the tests and can answer any questions about the procedures. The doctor  discusses your results with you at your next clinic appointment. Sometimes they forward them to your family doctor.

If you can’t make your appointment

If you can’t attend your appointment, phone the number on your appointment letter as soon as possible. We will give you a new appointment.

Cancelling may result in a delay to your treatment as clinic space is valuable. It costs us approximately £80 for every missed appointment. Letting us know that you can't attend means we can offer that clinic slot to another person on the waiting list.
