What can I expect on a consultation?

At the general consultation, you will first be seen by an assistant (doctor-specialist in training to become a gynaecologist), a specialised nurse, or a co-assistant/trainee (student in training to become a doctor). They will first have a general conversation with you, in which your symptoms and state of health are verified, and perform a clinical examination. They will check the findings with the supervisor, after which the decision will be discussed with you. In important discussions, the supervisor will be present. If you come for a private consultation, the supervisor will always be present. Supplements are sometimes charged for private consultations. Please refer to the UZ Leuven website for details.

If you are eligible and interested in a clinical study, you will also be seen by a study coordinator who will go over the practical aspects of the study with you.

If necessary, you will be seen by the nurse at the end of the consultation for a blood sample and/or to schedule a new consultation or any additional tests.
