Referral Information
Do I need a referral?
Yes. Most specialist appointments require a current referral from your GP or another medical practitioner.
Your referrer will usually send your referral and any supporting information directly to us, including relevant clinical notes, test results and medical imaging where required.
In most cases, there is nothing you need to do once your referral has been sent.
What happens after my referral is received?
Once your referral has been received, it will be reviewed by the specialist.
The specialist will determine how soon you need to be seen based on your clinical needs and whether they are the most appropriate specialist to manage your care. In some cases, a referral may be redirected or alternative options recommended.
Our administration team will then contact you to arrange an appointment or discuss the next steps.
How long will it take to hear from us?
In most cases, patients are contacted within one week of their referral being received and reviewed.
If it has been more than two weeks since your referral was sent and you have not heard from us, please contact our team.
Preparing for your appointment
When your appointment is booked, our team will explain any preparation required.
Depending on the specialist and the type of appointment, you may be asked to:
- Complete a Patient Details Form
- Provide updated contact information
- Bring relevant test results or imaging
- Complete additional paperwork where required
If further information is needed before your appointment, our team will contact you directly.
