We can see your patients sooner
Whether it’s an expert opinion for a heart concern or to check how your patient’s breathing, advanced diagnostic tests and appointments with many of our specialists are available on the same day they are booked. Search for a consultant or contact us to arrange an appointment or diagnostic test.
Referral process
Step 1: Doctor referral
As the treating doctor or hospital, you can refer your patient directly to one of our consultants or to our customer services team who will help arrange the appointment or admission. Please note that we require a medical referral or consultation to be competed for most diagnostic tests to be arranged. Some diagnostic services, such as our heart screening clinic can be booked directly by a patient.
Or: Self-referral by a patient
Patients can contact us directly and ask to be seen or admitted by one of our consultants. In this case, we would need a brief medical history - preferably by a treating doctor - including any relevant test results. Contact our customer services team to find out more.
Step 2: Letter of invitation
Once a consultant has agreed to accept a private patient, a letter of invitation is sent to the patient. This gives details of the appointment or admission. If a patient is self-funding then it will also indicate the deposit required.
