Your first appointment with the team will be a holistic assessment in which you will see one or two clinicians from the team. The aim of the assessment is for us to understand more about you and your symptoms and how they are impacting on your life. We discuss the information collected in our team meeting to arrive at our opinion and recommendations. We then contact you to discuss this and jointly agree a care and support plan if appropriate. We will write to you afterwards summarising the main points of your assessment and the plan, and we copy this to your GP. Appointments can take place at our hospital base, or via video or telephone consultation. Occasionally we see people in their homes.
