Common questions
Do I need to have tried other treatments first?
Generally, yes. Alternative therapies are usually considered when symptoms have lasted three months or more and standard treatments haven’t helped enough, or have caused side effects. Your doctor will ask what you’ve tried.
Do I need a referral or scans?
No referral is needed. If you have reports, scan results or letters from other doctors, have them handy. They help your doctor understand your history.
Will I definitely be offered treatment?
No. A consultation doesn’t guarantee any particular treatment. Your doctor recommends what’s clinically appropriate for you, and sometimes that means no treatment through us.
Can I keep seeing my regular GP?
Yes, and you should. Green Clinic isn’t a general practice. With your consent, we can send your GP a summary.
