PRIVATE GP REFERRALS
The Referral Process
How the referral process works.
Book an appointment
Choose a consultation time that suits you. Appointments are available in person, by telephone, or by video consultation.
Speak with a GP
During your appointment, the GP will discuss your symptoms, medical history, current medications, and any previous investigations or treatments.
Clinical assessment
The doctor will assess whether a specialist referral is appropriate and discuss the most suitable next steps with you.
Referral issued
If a referral is recommended, we will prepare and send a referral letter to you and your chosen consultant, specialist service, or private hospital. Referral letters are typically completed and sent on the same day whenever possible.
Booking your specialist appointment
Once your referral has been issued, you can contact the specialist directly to arrange your appointment. If required, our team can also assist with recommendations for trusted consultants and private healthcare providers.
Information you may need before your appointment.
To help us process your referral efficiently, please have the following information available where possible.
Details of your symptoms and concerns
Previous medical records or clinic letters
A list of current medications
