We know it can be difficult to keep up with medical terminology. Consider doing the following to help make it easier

A thorough approach

The doctor will run through some or all of these systematic steps to help you. We encourage you to communicate with your doctor so you understand what they are doing and why.

History

We take in your story. Simple but important.

Examination

We may ask you to do few movements. We may conduct a physical examination with you on the examination bed. These observations help us work out what is going on.

Investigations

If appropriate, we may ask you to do extra tests. Most common examples include blood tests or taking images at a Radiology Centre. If this is the case, we will organise appropriate follow-up of the result.

Management Plan

This is a collaborative process with you! Depending on the specific nature of the problem or issue, we may ask you to return for a review to assess your health progress.
