Know what to expect.
Practical information before your first visit and before any planned image-guided procedure. Specific instructions will be provided for your treatment.
Your first consultation
Expect a detailed clinical discussion, examination and review of reports or scans. We will explain whether more testing or a different specialist's opinion is needed.
Bring relevant records
Please bring recent imaging, reports, a list of current medicines, details of allergies and records of prior treatment. Do not stop prescribed medicines without medical advice.
Before a procedure
Preparation depends on the procedure. Fasting, blood tests, medication changes, escort arrangements and anaesthesia requirements are individualized.
Consent and planning
We discuss why the procedure is considered, expected benefits, uncertainties, material risks and alternatives before obtaining informed consent.
Recovery and follow-up
Observation and discharge plans depend on the procedure and your condition. Some patients need a hospital setting or scheduled imaging follow-up.
Urgent symptoms
Severe or rapidly worsening symptoms, chest pain, breathlessness, new neurological weakness or uncontrolled bleeding require urgent medical attention rather than routine online enquiry.
