What to expect

A nurse may take some assessments prior to your consultation, including blood pressure, weight, and body mass index.

This will generally take place when you referred for your first consultation.

You may be given a procedure or longer-term medication within another area within Osprey, depending on your condition.

Some patients will also have appointments with our specialist nurses.
