Aftercare and follow-up · Plymouth
Your care does not stop when you leave.
Clear next steps before you go, results explained in plain English, and an easy way to reach us afterwards.
Before you leave
Nothing left unclear.
Before you leave, we go through what we found, what happens next, and what to watch for. You will know when to seek more help, and who to contact.
For procedures such as ear wax removal, you get written aftercare advice to take home.
After every appointment
- Clear advice on what is normal and what to watch for
- Written aftercare where it helps
- Results explained in plain English
- A follow-up booked if you need one
- A summary for your NHS GP, with your consent
Further care
If you need more.
To go through results, check progress or review a treatment plan. With the same clinician wherever possible.
If your results need a closer look, we arrange repeat tests or advise on the next step.
To a pharmacy for you to collect, or to one that posts your medicine to you. Repeat prescriptions need a clinical review first.
A referral letter to a specialist, with a clinical summary. Included in your appointment fee.
We can send your GP a summary if we have an email address for your surgery. Your GP cannot access our records.
Guidance on diet, activity, sleep or monitoring that supports your recovery.
Questions after your visit
Just ask.
If anything is unclear, new symptoms appear, or you are not sure whether something needs attention, send us a message. Quick questions are free. We aim to reply the same day.
If a question needs a clinician’s time, we may suggest a follow-up appointment.
