1. Initial Contact: Contact our reception staff who will collect your medical information and ensure you have completed up-to-date diagnostics before your appointment.

2. Consultation: Schedule your appointment with Dr. Duff. You're welcome to bring a supporting family member or friend to the consultation.

3. Pre-Surgical Planning: If you're undergoing a major operation such as hip replacement or knee replacement, we'll schedule an additional appointment with our in-house physiotherapist or clinical nurse to assess your health and help you prepare for the procedure.

4. Post-Operative Care: Following your procedure, you'll see Dr. Duff or his clinical nurse to check your surgical site approximately 2 weeks post-operatively. Further follow-ups are generally scheduled at 6 weeks, with additional appointments based on your specific condition.

5. Ongoing Communication: Dr. Duff liaises with your referring GP and treating rehabilitation specialist after every clinic appointment. Should you have questions at any stage, please contact our clinic.
