You can request an appointment at Nottingham Road Clinic for a new health concern, a follow-up review, or to see a named consultant. Appointments are consultant-led and focused on assessment, diagnosis and management planning.
Who can request an appointment:
A referral letter is helpful but not always required. If one is needed, our team will advise you.
How to request an appointment:
Submitting a request does not confirm an appointment — this allows us to ensure you are booked into the most appropriate service. After receiving your request, the clinic team will contact you to confirm the most suitable service or consultant, offer appointment dates and times, confirm whether the appointment is in person or by video, and clarify payment or insurance requirements.
After your appointment, your consultant may provide a diagnosis or working diagnosis, recommend investigations, prescribe treatment, or arrange follow-up.
Results may be provided by:
Timescales for results vary depending on the investigation. You will be advised where possible. If a result is urgent or unexpected, the clinic will attempt to contact you using the details provided.
If you have undergone a procedure, you will receive aftercare instructions covering:
Some patients require onward care, which may involve follow-up at the clinic, shared care with your GP, referral to another specialist, or referral back into NHS services.
Preparing for your appointment helps your consultant make the best possible assessment.
What to bring:
You may find it helpful to note down:
Accessibility and additional support: Please inform the clinic in advance if you require an interpreter, mobility assistance, or any reasonable adjustments so appropriate arrangements can be made.
Some appointments may be suitable for video consultation — if this is appropriate, the clinic will provide guidance in advance. Please arrive a few minutes early as you may be asked to confirm your details and complete registration or consent forms.
Self-pay means you are choosing to fund your care directly without using private medical insurance.
Self-pay may include:
Some investigations may involve third-party providers. Where applicable, this will be explained in advance. Where possible, estimates are provided before treatment. However, recommendations may change following clinical assessment.
You will be advised when payment is required and what payment methods are accepted. Receipts can be provided for your records. If you need to change or cancel an appointment, please contact the clinic as soon as possible — cancellation terms will be explained at booking.
If you are using private medical insurance, coverage depends on your individual policy.
Most insurers require:
It is your responsibility to confirm authorisation before attending.
Insurance may not cover all elements of care, including:
If part of your care is not covered, you may be asked to self-fund that element. In many cases, the clinic invoices the insurer directly. In some situations, you may be required to pay and claim reimbursement. If authorisation is delayed or declined, the clinic will discuss your options, which may include rescheduling or proceeding as a self-pay patient.
Some services require a GP referral, while others can be booked directly. Please contact us or check the specific service page for guidance.
Appointments can be booked online through our website or by contacting our reception team by phone.
