What Are Acute Medical Consultations?
Acute medical consultations are designed for short-term or sudden health issues that develop quickly and may cause discomfort, pain, or concern. During an acute consultation, the doctor will assess your symptoms, take a medical history, perform a physical examination if necessary, and recommend appropriate treatment or further investigations.
These consultations aim to address immediate health needs while identifying any signs that require monitoring, follow-up, or referral.
