Ask the treating service for a written plan. Appointment numbers and time away depend on the procedure, results and individual needs.

  • What are the assessed rehabilitation goals, and is the proposed setting inpatient, outpatient or a medical spa?
  • Request the number and length of individual and group sessions, disciplines involved, rest days and review points.
  • What nursing support, accessibility, companion arrangements and home programme are included?
