The need for further treatment will be communicated and agreed upon. A written report will be generated, if agreed, and shared with any parties needed (e.g. GP or consultant) with your prior consent. You can book self-pay services of My Nutrition Balance, which can be covered by Private Health Insurance, by contacting us directly or your treating doctor can refer you to us. 

Review appointments will be agreed in advance and confirmed via e-mail. If you book a block of sessions, these can be taken over any reasonable time period as agreed between the dietitian and the client. Future sessions will be booked at the end of the session. A report or action points (as appropriate) will be generated and sent to the client and any other parties as required and with prior consent from the client.

Cancellation

Please note the full consultation fee will be charged for non-attendance or cancellation within 24 hours. If you cancel your appointment within 2 working days, you will be charged 50% of the fee.
