One third or more of our attendances in August can be visitors. We do not
attempt to make follow-up appointments for them at their home hospitals.
They are given their X-rays and a copy of their notes and advised to contact
their GP who should be able to arrange a local follow-up for them or advise
them as to the best way of doing it themselves. As far I as know this works
- no-one has complained it didn't.
