Your First Visit to The London Breast Clinic
On your first visit to the clinic, you will be greeted by a receptionist, who will collect any referral letters, x-rays, test results or other information you have brought with you. These will be passed to the consultant breast surgeon. It is helpful if you can arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your appointment time so that the consultant surgeon has time to review the information prior to your consultation and any outstanding personal information can be obtained.
You can then take a seat in the waiting room, where a medical secretary may see you if any personal information is still required. A breast care nurse will then take you to meet the consultant breast surgeon. A spouse, partner, relative or friend can accompany you, or the nurse can stay with you during your consultation and examination.
