Usually from a GP referral, unless you pay privately.

Thanks but when is it decided that you need one?

You should be referred if there's abnormalities in your blood test results, unless it's something sraightforward that your GP thinks he/she can manage.

Perhaps ask your doctor, if that's not been done in due course, & you think you need someone "more experienced".

Hope that helps!

Speak with your doctor and ask for a referal to see one at the local hospital,,,,endo's understand the condition so much better,,,,,it could take a few weeks for an appointment,,,,ttfn from Karen.
