Ajit's summary :
20 mins for news, 10 mins for f.u- for consultants
30 mins news & 15 mins follow up for trainees
4 hour PA to have 30 mins of clinic admin time to allow for slow IT systems , Electronic records , etc
So, 210 mins to be allocated for these appointments.

Dear All
I know this is a fairly basic question but would appreciate input !
What would CD’s normally expect consultant colleagues to see in a 3.5 hour elective clinic in terms of New and f/up pts ( without add ons / overrunning and all the other pressures)
Many thanks
Julian

The new blue book should have provided the answer but heard nothing further from the BOA has any one?
15 min plus 5 admin time for new patients except spine and revision which is 25 to 30 min plus 10. Admin time during or after clinic.
Followup 10 minutes except spines and revisions 15 minutes.
Plus 0.25 of a PA admin for every direct patient contact (gp letters choose and book scan results wl managment etc)

Just to add another dimension to this
Were you aware that the physicians get a ‘ admin’ session time added on for every clinic they see? I think this varies
between 0.5 and 1 / clinic
So if you are filling your clinics then there should be additional admin sessions whereas a clinic that runs for 4 hours but
is underfilled may have admin included in it

Would depend on the speciality to some extent but on average 10 new (15 minute slot) and 15 follow ups (10 minute slot).
Since moving to EPR last month our clinic admin time between patients have considerably gone up!
12 Patients max in a New Patient clinic (Unless spinal but no service at present) - generally 15minute slots but limited to 12
22 max in a RP clinic - generally 10 minute slots
36 max in a # clinic - generally 5 minute slots
NP and RP elective clinics and separate and not mixed
