Referral to Hospital by your GP
Having visited your GP, you maybe referred to hospital for further investigations and treatment. Once your referral has been received you will then be added to the hospital’s Outpatient Waiting List.
In order to ensure your visit to hospital can be facilitated please note the following:
- Please ensure that all contact information is up to date
- Your GP will then send an electronic referral to the hospital within your catchment area
- Referral is then processed by the Hospital
- Please do not contact the Practice to check on the progress of your referral
- If you have not heard from the hospital within 12 weeks of referral (2 weeks if an urgent referral) please contact the Referral Management Service on 0300 303 0249
If you have any questions about hospital appointments or are looking for the results of a test done at hospital, then please phone the appropriate secretary directly.
Hospital information / appointments are not always shared on to our computer system and we only get results from hospital tests that we have directly requested.
