Referrals (doctor-to-doctor only)

We can only accept doctor-to-doctor referrals made in writing. If you are a patient, please consult your GP who will refer you if appropriate.

A strict appointment system operates and referrals are prioritised on clinical need based on the information supplied by the referring medical practitioner.
