Our clinicians have excellent relationships with specialists throughout London. We are very happy to refer our NHS patients to private healthcare providers, if requested, and do so on a regular basis.

You will usually need to consult with one of our GPs before a private referral can be written.

For minor problems, such as straightforward physiotherapy, or a recurrence of a problem for which you have previously seen your GP, a referral might be possible via a telephone consultation. For more serious or newly arising problems, for which we have no previous record, we suggest making an appointment to see a GP for review, before proceeding with the referral.

Referral Letters
A private referral letter will be available for collection at the surgery 5 working days following your consultation with the GP. Following a referral by your doctor, who will give you the contact details of the specialist, we would simply ask you to book your appointment then call in at the surgery after the five days have passed, to collect your letter.

Unless clinically urgent, when special provisions can be made to expedite this process, it would be preferable to book an appointment after these five days have passed, in order to ensure the relevant paperwork is ready to take with you. It may be possible to provide a referral letter for simple matters during your consultation with the GP, depending on the nature of the problem.
