The procedure is similar to our telephone consultations: you fill in a diet diary and health questionnaire and take them with you to your appointment. The first consultation lasts approximately one hour, during which time we will study your forms, explore your history and work out an initial programme for you. After this first appointment, it is advisable to have a follow up consultation, approximately four weeks later so we can assess your progress. You will be asked to keep daily diet diaries and symptom charts which makes it easier to identify any improvements in your health and well-being.
