GP Appointment

During your GP appointment, you will have the opportunity to discuss your health concern(s) with our GP. The GP will typically ask about your medical history, current symptoms and any relevant past illnesses or conditions.

The GP will assess your symptoms and evaluate them to try to understand the underlying cause. If needed, the GP may conduct a physical examination to assess your overall health and/or the specific concern you’ve come about. We offer a chaperone if you wish.

Based on your history, symptoms and the examination findings, the GP may be able to provide a diagnosis, or order further tests for confirmation. If a diagnosis has been made, the GP will discuss a treatment plan with you. This may include prescribing medications, referrals to specialists, or further investigations.

The GP may offer advice about how to manage a health condition, preventative measures you can take and general advice to improve your wellbeing.

Depending on the nature of the consultation, the GP may schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor your progress or adjust your treatment plan.

Following your GP appointment, you can expect to have a preliminary diagnosis or further tests scheduled to determine the underlying cause of your health issue. The GP will have discussed a treatment plan with you which may include medication, changes to lifestyle, referrals to specialists or further investigations.

The GP may have prescribed medications to manage your condition or alleviate your symptoms. It’s important to follow the prescribed dosage and instructions carefully. We partner with a local mobile pharmacy called Pill Sorted, they can deliver your medication directly to your door if you would like to make use of this service.

The GP may have considered it appropriate to refer you to a specialist, such as a cardiologist or a dermatologist, in which case you will receive correspondence from the specialist shortly after your appointment.

It may be deemed appropriate for a further GP appointment to be arranged to monitor your progress, adjust the treatment plan or review test results.

Depending on your condition, you may be provided with information about how to manage your condition, preventative measures you can take, lifestyle modifications and additional support resources.

After your GP appointment, you should have a better understanding of your health condition, a plan for treating or managing it, and reassurance that you are taking steps towards dealing with the problem and improving your health.
