Outpatient services are primarily offered at Leighton Hospital with additional clinics at Victoria Infirmary in Northwich.. Some patients may be suitable for a virtual pathway of care. This means a hospital visit may not be needed. A consultant will review your health information, such as your referral details, test results, and clinic letters, without you coming to hospital.
Following the review, the consultant may:
- Give you advice
- Request further tests
- Make a treatment plan
- Decide if you need a face-to-face/telephone appointment
