Homeodynamic- Pauline Smithson -Registered Homeopath

My aim is to create a respectful, co-operative relationship with each patient who comes to see me for treatment. It is important to me that you feel relaxed and secure so that you can enjoy a positive health care experience.

Before your first appointment I will ask you to complete a patient questionnaire. This will ensure that all the important information is collated. It is also useful tool to help you focus on the issues you will want to discuss during your consultation.

If you are currently taking any medication, please make a note of this and bring the packaging with you when you come.

Your first appointment will typically take between sixty and ninety minutes. This is your time to raise the issues that are important to you, and that you feel are affecting your health.

Subsequent appointments, to assess your progress typically take forty-five minutes to an hour, and are usually required 4-6 weeks after the initial consultation. I will usually ask you to contact me with details of your progress in between your consultations, so we can make any adjustments to your treatment as required.

Your appointment can be as frequent as you feel appropriate, whether weekly, monthly or even a quarterly check up. Most people feel that a monthly appointment, at least until their health problem has improved considerably, works best. Homeopathy is a therapy that often requires a course of treatment to be long lastingly effective.

All information is treated confidentially and will not be discussed with anyone else without your consent.

It is sometimes useful to share important information with your GP, however this will not be done without your permission.
