to my GP? A This depends. Most

helpful to your consultant and us.

treated? A When it suits you and
your consultant.

anything if I am not accepted for Fixed Price

accepted for Fixed Price Direct the Consultant’s fee for the initial
consultation will be payable by you as this is not included in the

my treatment? A By cheque, cash or
credit card or you may want to consider a medical loan. Some of
these are interest free. We’d be happy to send you a leaflet.
