You will need a referral letter from your local GP or Specialty Doctor to use this service. Please ask them to write you a referral letter explaining your medical history, relevant test results, imaging results and what medicines you are taking.
We will then send you a letter in the post with the details of your appointment date, time and location. If an appointment cannot be made, we will send you a letter confirming that you are on the outpatient waiting list for the next available appointment. Please let us know if your address and/or phone number changes.
