Self Referral

Most referrals to other specialists will require you seeing or speaking with a GP. However, there are a number of local services, listed below, that you are able to make self referrals to.

 

Signposting is designed to connect patients more directly with the most appropriate source of help or advice; this may include services in the community as well as within the Practice. All Patient Care Advisors are trained in signposting and there are lots of services available to you. Some you can self-refer to without the need of a GP appointment, please see our Self-Referral Leaflet for more information.
