Hello All,
Can a consultant refer you to another consultant without the sanction of your GP? I only ask this as I have just had a letter saying as much from a consultant I am meant to be seeing with some urgency (its only taken them a month to respond to my respiratory consultants letter of referral!!!) It feels like I have too chase up all the time which isn't that great when you aren't feeling so
Happy Christmas to you all
Hi Modola. I only know that my chest consultant referred me to a thoracic surgeon without going through the GP. She informed the GP of what she had done.
It shouldn't be difficult - they do seem to struggle with appointments at the hospital I attend always have too chase them up
