Please call the Surgery to make an appointment. We have taken this measure to protect our patients and staff in line with the best available evidence. We appreciate your understanding at this difficult time and will update this information as the situation dictates.

REFERRALS TO SPECIALISTS
When requesting a referral to a specialist it is appropriate to see your doctor who can assess the nature and urgency of the need then arrange for you to see the most suited person. A referral will contain details of your problem, history, current medication and relevant test results. Please ensure that your letter of referral is collected from the surgery prior to your specialist appointment, unless otherwise arranged.
