Practical step-by-step guide

Prepare for a specialist appointment

A practical planning guide: questions to ask and documents to organise. Follow the linked canonical service records for sources, criteria and current application routes.

Practical next steps

  1. Write the two or three practical questions that matter most to you.
  2. Ask whether a referral letter, earlier reports or results are needed and how to provide them securely.
  3. Bring an up-to-date medicine list for the clinician; do not change medicines because of this guide.
  4. Ask who coordinates follow-up, how you will receive results and whom to contact if arrangements are unclear.
  5. Ask for accessible communication, an interpreter or permission to bring a support person if needed.
  6. Before leaving, confirm the next appointment, referrals and any application reports the clinician has agreed to complete.
