Referral pathway

1 — Send
By secure message, email or fax — the details are at the top of this page.
Mark urgent referrals clearly in the subject line.
2 — Triage
Every referral is read and triaged within two business days. You will be contacted if the clinical picture suggests a different pathway would serve the patient better.
3 — Appointment
Reception contacts the patient directly to arrange a time and location, and provides a written fee estimate before the visit.
4 — Communication back
A consultation letter is sent on the day of the appointment, with results copied to you and a phone call for anything significant or time-critical.
