Please be aware that the panel/medical team cannot comment on or reply to individual cases, do not send in any test results with your questions, replying to questions on the day is not an alternative to your ongoing medical relationship with your own consultant or GP, so do try to ask general questions and don’t be disappointed if the panel/medical team do not give specific medical advice to you. There may not be time during the session to answer all the questions submitted, the team will reply to all unanswered questions by email.
