What does the patient need to know?

There is a patient leaflet on the main webpage that explains the service to the patient.

Many patients come to the service with expectations of receiving a scan or seeing a consultant which are not clinically indicated. Please support us to manage the patient’s expectations by giving them a copy of the leaflet and explaining that an advanced clinician will choose the most appropriate service for their needs.

The patient may be referred for treatment to an organisation other than Wirral Hospital NHS Foundation Trust e.g. Wirral Community NHS Foundation Trust, Spire Murrayfield, GP Injection Service. Information about the patient will be shared with those organisations for the purpose of healthcare provision.
