What to expect in a consultation

The first consultation will last approximately one hour. You will have been asked to fill in a questionnaire before

our consultation and we will go through this, as there are usually additional questions that need to be asked.

I will then explain what I believe is happening in your body with regard to your symptoms and then together

we will agree to some changes that could help to relieve symptoms.

After approximately four weeks, we have a further consultation to review your health, and further changes

may or may not be made to your programme.
