Outpatients

Important information

Please do not attend your outpatient appointment if you have tested positive for COVID-19 or you have symptoms.

• COVID-19 symptoms and what to do (NHS website)

To ensure your outpatient consultation takes place in the most appropriate setting, your referral will be looked at by a hospital doctor who will decide the next steps. This could be a virtual consultation via telephone or video, or a face-to-face appointment in clinic.

Unless we have contacted you to cancel or rearrange your consultation, please attend as planned. This is really important, whether you have a virtual consultation or a face-to-face appointment. If you are unable to attend your appointment, please let us know in advance.

You may bring another person with you to your outpatient appointment.
