Your first appointment will be with the Doctor alongside some other team members. (If you would prefer fewer people in the room, that is fine too, just let us know.)
Your first appointment will be at the QMC site of Nottingham University Hospitals. It is usually in Children's East Clinic Rooms. Please be on time.
During the appointment the Doctor will ask you lots of questions about your general health and wellbeing. Please feel free to bring any old clinic letters, results and any medicine you are taking with you.
You will be accompanied by your parent or carer so they can help answer those questions.
Your height, weight and blood pressure will be measured at the appointment.
The doctor will also do an examination and listen to your heart and chest.
We will discuss with you what the CEW clinic does, what is involved in being a patient attending the clinic, what is expected of you as a patient and our joint aims for your health.
Please feel free to bring a list of questions with you. We are happy to answer them in clinic or at anytime throughout your time with CEW.
We will plan the next steps, which is usually a routine home visit from our Clinical Support Worker. We will also arrange a set of appointments with members of the team to start your journey.
After your first appointment you will receive several scheduled appointments spread out over the following weeks, which will include a dietician appointment, a Allied Health Professional appointment and an additional Doctor check up appointment.
