Referrals

We accept referrals via Choose and Book 

A strict appointment system operates and referrals are prioritised on clinical need based on the information supplied by the referring medical practitioner.

Please ensure that your referrals include the following information:

  • Full GP practice detail

Patient data, including their:  

  • Name
  • Date of birth
  • Telephone number
  • NHS number
  • All relevant clinical information and indication of urgency
  • Information on any relevant pathology or x-ray tests carried out
  • Whether the patient needs an interpreter  

Advice and guidance

We receive many requests to review children with musculoskeletal conditions which are normal variants and self-limiting, and whose parents often simply need reassurance. 

We are happy to see these patients if there is clinical or parental concern, however please use advice and guidance on Choose and Book  where you will find information which may be helpful in answering parents' questions and deciding who to refer for an outpatient appointment.
