Questions patients ask

Frequently asked questions

If your question is not here, send a message and the practice will reply within one working day.

Can I book a test without a consultation?

Yes, for several investigations. Every request is reviewed first for clinical suitability, and you will be told if a consultation would serve you better.

Results are reviewed by Dr Sultan and explained to you in plain English. The practice will tell you when to expect them when your test is booked.

Some insurers do, usually with authorisation in advance. Please check your policy and obtain an authorisation number before booking; any shortfall or excess remains payable by you.

At clinics across Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Merseyside. Some monitors can also be posted to you, so you can wear them at home.

Not sure where to begin?

Start with a conversation.

Tell me what is worrying you, and I will help you find the most appropriate next step.
