You will have an appointment with both the nurse and your usual GP on the same day. First you will see one of our expert nurses who will work with you to outline your healthcare goals and identify members of your treating team that will help you achieve these. The nurse will write the plan with you, and identify any areas needing clarification with your GP. And then you will follow up with your GP to discuss any further additions to your plan, order any tests needed, and sign the allied health referrals.
