New Patients Key Points
Welcome to the London Resilience Clinic Patient Knowledge base. The purpose of this article is to give new patients and prospective patients a summary and overview of the clinic treatment processes.
All Patients
• In your booking confirmation email you have been given a link to create an account and complete our intake forms. Please complete these ideally 24 hours before your appointment.
• At the time of your appointment click on the online meeting link in your booking confirmation email in any laptop or web browser. If you are using a tablet or mobile phone, please download the Google Meet app.
• After 5 minutes if you are not in the waiting room, the clinician will call the phone number provided when you booked.
• Most patients just need the initial hour for the 1st consultation. Occasionally for very complex patients, an additional 30m consultation may be required.
• After the consultation you will receive your consultation patient report by email. This will include the next recommended appointment details and treatment plan.
• Any medications prescribed by us will be sent directly to the pharmacy. The pharmacy will contact you to arrange payment and delivery.
Medical Cannabis Patients
• If medical cannabis is recommended as part of your treatment plan, this will be prescribed in your specialist consultation visit which can be booked after your receive your patient report.
• After you start your medical cannabis, you will be asked to book your first follow up visit 3-4 weeks after starting the medication.
• Once you are deemed stable on the medication which is typical for most patients at the first 1 month follow up, you can then qualify for repeat prescriptions without needing appointments. We can issue a repeat prescription if you have had a consultation in the past 90 days. Most patients have a visit every 4-5 months.
Functional Medicine
• Recommendations for functional medicine tests are normally included in the first initial consultation including how to order the tests. Ordering the test kits and getting the results back takes on average 4 weeks.
• Some patients choose to focus on medical cannabis in the first consultation, digest the info about functional medicine testing then discuss the testing options more at 1 month follow up. They then order the test and review the results at month 2 follow up.
• The functional medicine test results follow up consultation is a 1 hour appointment.
• A treatment plan may include antifungal medications, staged gut repair nutraceuticals and dietary advice and then retesting for specific biomarkers. This is normally done over a 3-6 month period with 1-2 visits to guide the plan.
