What to Expect at Your Acute Consultation
Focused history and examination to identify what matters and what to rule out.
If investigations are required, we’ll explain why and what to do with the result.
You’ll leave with treatment, warning signs to watch for, and when to return.
What to Bring to Your GP Appointment
Bring medical aid details, ID/passport, and any authorisations if you have them.
A photo of your meds is fine. Include chronic meds, supplements and known allergies.
Any recent bloods, X-rays, scans or discharge letters (even photos on your phone).
For Kids & Families
Bring the booklet and note fever readings and symptom timeline if possible.
We’ll give clear “red flags” and when to return — so you’re not guessing at home.
