Frequently asked questions

What will my appointment involve?

Your initial consultation will be with one of the musculoskeletal team who will assess your problem, agree appropriate goals with you and a suitable course of action.  This may involve advice, home exercises, support in accessing community services or a period of rehabilitation in the department.

If you would like a chaperone to be present at any time, please ask and this will be arranged.

Do I need to bring anything to my appointment?

Please bring a list of any medication you are taking and wear appropriate clothing so that we can assess the affected area.  Please bring or wear shorts or a skirt for lower limb problems and a vest top for upper limb or neck.  For back assessments you will need to undress to your underwear.
