How to refer
01
Send a referral
Referrals can be sent via secure messaging, email, or asked of the patient directly to bring to their first appointment. Secure messaging details will be confirmed before launch.
02
Patient enquiry & triage
The patient submits an enquiry through this site (or is supported to do so). I review and respond with the recommended appointment type and indicative fees.
03
Appointment & correspondence
Following the consultation, a written letter is sent to the referring clinician and any other clinicians involved in the patient's care, with the patient's consent.
04
Ongoing care
Where ongoing review is appropriate, I will continue to send correspondence after each subsequent consultation.
