Care route
Where should I seek care?
This is not an emergency department. At the appointment the aim is to examine the situation and decide the next sensible step: self-care, medication, a minor procedure, tests or referral.

Aim
Purpose of the appointment
In an English-language appointment, the key is that the symptom, the need for tests and the follow-up plan are understood precisely. When needed, instructions can be clarified carefully so that language does not become the source of uncertainty.
