to book a private consultation please telephone 01233 642244. We prefer to speak to you directly before a consultation. We can then advise what tests or procedures may be needed book an appointment at a convenient time and place give you an estimate of costs and help with medical insurance forms We normally expect a letter of referral from your GP. We do not need to receive the letter before booking your appointment, we can book your appointment in advance. Mrs Fairley will check your medical history, advise you whether any special tests or examinations are likely, and what they will entail. She can usually offer some specialist ENT Nursing advice on what to do before your appointment.
