Diagnosis & Treatment
A visit may review medications, immunisation status, chronic conditions, family history, nutrition and folic acid needs. Screening and vaccination advice is individualized; medication changes should be supervised. Your clinician will explain any recommended investigation or intervention, potential risks, alternatives, follow-up and expected limitations. Treatment is individualized and outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
