Where do I find my nearest nhs endocrinologist?

[Kirby]

I've tried Google but it either comes up with all the local GPs or private endos only.

If you prefer a particular hospital(s), look at the website for any of the hospitals of your choice that you would be able to attend/like to attend, and see if they have an endocrinology dept (sometime diabetes and endocrinology).

Otherwise email Louise at [e-mail] for a list.

Thanks Hypnoteq. I will try that.

all nhs hospitals will have an endo

For an NHS endo, you will need to be referred by your GP.

[Kirby in reply to Parbrook]

OK, thanks. I'm due to see her next Wed but don't know if I have enough info to be referred.

Just asking for a referral to your nearest NHS endo is not the best course of action. Many NHS endos are diabetes specialists who know nothing about treating the thyroid. Thyroid UK has a list of endocrinologists - private and NHS - who have better than average knowledge and who might give you some real help. If you send a PM to Louise Warvill she will send you a copy of the list :

Thanks - that's very helpful but I couldn't afford to go privately so hope that there may be one on NHS in my area

Oh - that is what has happened to me!! I am diabetic, but wanted referral to thyroid endo, but got referred for diabetes. How do I pm Louise Warvill?

If you click on her name, you will see a yellow button that says send a message, click on that. She will need your email address to send the list to

I have sent Louise a message including my email so waiting to hear back from her!
