Do I need an appointment?
No appointment is necessary if you wish to attend the Monday or Thursday Surgeries – just turn up at our offices as we should be able to see you the same day.
We will provide you with preliminary advice, details on the options available to you, timescales, how your case can be funded including any funding options that may be available.
Unable to attend?
If you are unable to make surgery, please contact us and we will endeavour to have a preliminary discussion with you free of charge.
