Medical, functional and social review.
Before your appointment
Bring a full medicine list, functional history and information about home support. With consent, a relative or carer can help describe daily difficulties.
Time, hospital stay & appointments
Times are planning guides, not national averages or guaranteed schedules. They reflect published provider examples and patient guidance. The treating team confirms the individual plan, time needed near the clinic and fitness to travel. Waiting lists are not included.
- Procedure or course duration
- A multidisciplinary assessment and care-planning process, sometimes across several visits.
- Hospital stay
- Usually outpatient; the assessment can span more than one discipline or appointment. Admission is only arranged if clinically needed.
- Visits and repeat attendance
- Begin with one assessment appointment. Further tests, counselling or a results review may be separate; the service should confirm which steps require attendance.
- Recovery and travel planning
- The output is a coordinated plan covering medical, psychological, functional and social needs. Confirm who follows up each recommendation.
