Planning your care
Ask the treating service for a written plan. Appointment numbers and time away depend on the procedure, results and individual needs.
- Which clinical question should the consultation or test answer, and which existing reports can be reviewed first?
- Are preparation, contrast, sedation or a separate results appointment required? Ask the service for individual instructions.
- When will results be available, who will explain them and can follow-up take place remotely?
