The Referral Process:

• Your Doctor/healthcare practitioner/support worker needs to contact us to make the referral
• They will pass on your contact details and explain the reason for the referral. To do this, they simply ring 0113 234 0818 – it will take just a few minutes.
• We will call you to confirm we have received your referral and give you further information about our service. We will also agree the cost of your treatments.
• You can book your first appointment!

What to expect:

• When you arrive at Phoenix, you’ll be greeted by our friendly Reception team
• Your acupuncturist will come to you and take you to your room (this will have 2 or 3 beds set up in it)
• They will ask you a few questions to help understand what you’d like from the treatment
• Acupuncture is a targeted treatment, so you will only need to remove clothing in the area being treated. The acupuncturist will advise on this
• Privacy screens are available should you like to have one
• The acupuncturist will carry out the treatment and then leave you for a little while to let the treatment run it’s course. Often people drift off at this point, it is very calming
• They will then come back in the room to remove the needles and bring you water. Again, privacy screens are available should you need to re-dress
• They will share after-care tips tailored to you
