Downloads and preparation guides

Practical checklists to help you prepare for your visit, recovery, and rehabilitation.

Before your consultation

Bring these items so your assessment can be focused and efficient.

Photo ID and insurance details (if applicable).
Previous X-rays, MRI, or CT reports — on disc or printed.
List of current medications and allergies.
Operation notes or physiotherapy letters from prior care.
Short written summary: when pain started, what makes it worse or better.

After surgery

General reminders — always follow the instructions given to you at discharge.

Take prescribed pain relief and blood thinners as directed.
Keep the wound clean and dry unless told otherwise.
Use your sling, brace, or crutches as instructed.
Attend all follow-up appointments.
Seek urgent care for fever, spreading redness, severe pain, or numbness.

Rehabilitation & exercises

Recovery is gradual. These milestones are typical — your plan may differ.

Early phase: reduce swelling, protect the repair, gentle range of motion as allowed.
Mid phase: strengthen supporting muscles with physiotherapy guidance.
Late phase: return to sport or work only when cleared by your surgeon.

Shoulder & sports — quick guide

Common reasons patients book: rotator cuff pain, instability, frozen shoulder, or sports injury.

Note whether pain is at rest, at night, or with overhead activity.
Bring sport or work demands you need to return to.

Joint replacement — preparation

For shoulder, hip, or knee replacement planning.

Dental check if advised — reduce infection risk before surgery.
Arrange home help and clear trip hazards before surgery.
Stop smoking if possible — it aids healing.

Trauma & fractures

If you have an acute injury, seek emergency care first when needed.

For clinic review: bring all emergency and hospital discharge papers.
Do not remove splints or dressings unless instructed.
