Out patient clinic consultations
During a consultation, I assess patients by taking a detailed history and by performing a clinical examination. Patients may be sent for carefully selected investigations such as x-ray, ultrasound scan or MRI scan and/or bone scans.
how to be referred

To arrange a consultation with an orthopaedic surgeon, a patient must be referred by their General Practitioner or another Consultant. The referring doctor will send the referral letter to the hospital and then an outpatient consultation can be arranged.
