Describe second-opinion booking requirements

What to change

Create a specific administrative explanation for the second-opinion route, approved by the service owner. Explain document handling and appointment selection without suggesting a likely clinical conclusion.

A worked example

Illustrative example

A specialist page explains that people seeking another opinion should contact the booking team first. The team confirms the appointment type and provides instructions for any records needed, rather than inviting attachments to a public contact form.

How to check the result

The visitor knows which appointment route to start and how further information will be requested.

A mistake to avoid

Do not promise an independent outcome or a particular recommendation simply because someone is booking an additional opinion.

Your action checklist

Use these checks to prepare a discussion with your team or supplier. Tick a check when you have recorded the decision or evidence, rather than when a feature has simply been promised.
