If your GP specifies a Consultant then we will try to make sure that you see that doctor. Sometimes a GP will refer to a specialty or a service (Orthopaedics for instance). In that case your referral will be reviewed by the Medical Team and you will be placed on the waiting list for a Consultant with sub-specialist expertise in the area specific to your needs (for example, knee surgery is a sub-specialty of orthopaedics)

Yes, you need a referral from a GP to see a Consultant.

We do not allow flowers to be delivered to patients in the interests of space constraints and hygiene requirements.
