Lung rehab Voyage believes in promoting patient autonomy and engagement. A doctor’s or consultant referral is not necessary to see a therapist in private practice, although we frequently work in partnership with your doctor or consultant to plan and manage treatment for a specific condition.
To begin, your healthcare professional will assess your condition, diagnose any problems and help you understand what is wrong. They will work with you to develop a treatment plan that best suits your positive health outcomes. Throughout your treatment program, your healthcare professional will evaluate your progress at regular intervals and modify your treatment and goals accordingly. Wherever possible, your therapist will also help you to manage your condition independently for the longer term.
Depending on the type of treatment, your initial appointment will last from 30 to 60 minutes. Some complex conditions or treatment of multiple areas may require longer consultations; if this is the case your healthcare professional will discuss your options with you.
During each session, your healthcare professional will discuss your treatment plan and suggest an optimal package. Then, at the end of each visit, you should check in with our administration team to re-schedule your next appointment.
It is our policy to schedule you with the same healthcare professional over the course of your treatment. Occasionally, substitutions or referrals another member of the team, who has additional expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of your condition.
In order to accommodate each patient’s schedule and for the efficient operation of our practice, reserving time slots for treatments is very important. That time slot is held specifically for you. If you do need to cancel and reschedule, please give 24 hours’ notice, to avoid a cancellation fee. A full consultation fee may apply if more than 3 same day cancellations are made.
