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,
Jenn
