2ww ENT Appt

Hi

Doc has referred me for a 2ww ENT appt due to persistent sore throat, hoarseness, trouble swallowing and other symptoms.

What usually happens at this first appt if anyone has been in this situation before?

thanks 

  • Hello Aimz21

    I'm sorry to hear that you've had some ongoing health concerns. It's good to know that your GP has referred you to see a specialist. Hopefully, you won't have to wait too long to see the Consultant. 

    It's likely that the Consultant will take a history and examine you. They may want to carry out a nasendoscopy at the clinic or it may be that the Consultant refers you for further scans/tests. 

    It's understandable that you're feeling anxious about things. If you'd like to chat with one of our team of nurses ahead of your appointment you're welcome to give them a call. They'll be back in the office after the bank holiday on 0808 800 4040 (Mon-Fri 9am to 5pm). 

    Do let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
