I see patients face-to-face at the Candover Clinic in Basingstoke but initial and follow-up appointments can also be arranged via Zoom or telephone if preferred. An initial appointment is usually for an hour and will cover a comprehensive history and examination followed by investigations if needed or a management plan if not. A follow up appointment lasts for up to 30 minutes which allows time to go through blood tests and scan results and to formulate a management plan. You may be advised to seek a referral to NHS rheumatology or pain management services if you have ongoing care needs best suited to a long-term multidisciplinary team approach.
