For Patients
A little preparation makes a significant difference to what can be achieved in one consultation.
Bring the record of your health with you. Details of past investigations often prevent an unnecessary repeat test.
Please arrive a little early to complete registration.
Take your usual medication unless you have been specifically instructed otherwise. If a stress test or a procedure has been booked, the practice will give you separate instructions about fasting and about medication such as blood thinners or diabetic tablets.
Wear or bring comfortable clothing and flat shoes if exercise testing is planned, and a two-piece outfit if an ECG or echocardiogram is expected.
You are welcome to bring a family member or friend. A second person often remembers detail from the discussion.
Please contact the practice before your appointment for information about accounts and medical aid.
The practice is happy to confirm what you need to bring or clarify instructions before an investigation.
