Before your visit
Think about the current health issues you are experiencing and what questions to ask. In particular think about what realistic goals you want to achieve. It is helpful to have a current list of any medication you are on.
During your visit
The therapist will complete an initial assessment with you to identify the specific problems we are able to help you with. This may also involve a physical examination. You may be asked to demonstrate how you currently manage certain tasks. The therapist will then discuss and advise you on the next steps in your treatment.
After your visit
Further treatment sessions will be planned with you, if appropriate and any specific advice given. You may also be signposted to other appropriate services. At the end of your treatment a letter may be sent to your GP informing him/her of the outcome of your treatment. If appropriate your therapist may also with your consent, discuss your case with other health or social care professionals. e.g. Social Worker, Nurse, Doctor, other health professional. We are all keen to work in an integrated way with you the patient at the centre.
