Make a referral

Four ways to refer.

Before referring

Initial imaging helps.

Where appropriate, arranging initial investigations — X-rays for arthritis, ultrasound for soft-tissue queries — before the first specialist appointment streamlines decision-making and avoids a return visit.

For urgent patients, please call the rooms directly so we can prioritise an appointment.
