About This Service
Many symptoms can have more than one cause. A GP consultation brings your symptoms, medicines, previous conditions and risk factors together. Care may include advice, treatment, monitoring, laboratory tests, ECG or referral to another professional when needed.
When to Book an Assessment
These signs do not confirm a diagnosis; a clinician needs to assess the cause.
- Fever, cough, sore throat or common illness
- Headache, fatigue or unexplained symptoms
- Blood pressure or general health concerns
- Minor injuries or skin concerns
- Follow-up for an existing condition or test result
What to Expect
- The doctor asks about symptoms, health history and medicines.
- A focused physical examination is performed.
- Vital signs may be checked depending on your concern.
- Tests, treatment or referral are recommended only when appropriate.
- The doctor explains warning signs and when follow-up is needed.
After Your Appointment
Take medicines only as prescribed and follow the recommended review plan. If symptoms become severe or you develop emergency warning signs, seek urgent or emergency care rather than waiting for a routine appointment.
