A typical course of treatment for patient's referred by hospital would be 30
to 40 daily (Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays) sessions.
Each session is 2 hours and treatment slots are arranged at 9am to 11am, 11am
to 1pm and 1pm to 3pm. Appointment availability is dependent upon number and
type of patient's we are currently treating. Where it is possible to accommodate
a favoured time we will do so.
We do ask that all patient's referred for a course of treatment try their utmost
to complete the course of treatment in a continuous block. Frequently missing
treatments can adversely affect outcome.
Emergency patient referrals, diving, carbon monoxide poisoning, soft tissue
infections and so on follow a different treatment pattern. These patients will
be treated on an initial longer table, often 5 to 7 hours in the case of divers
with 'the bends', and subsequent shorter 1 hour 40 minute treatments until fully
recovered.
