GP Referrals
To request a GP referral please submit your request to us via Patchs or calling on 01618814545. Please provide us much information about your reason for needing the referral as possible.
- In most circumstances, a GP appointment will be required before a referral can be made. Referrals may be rejected without an initial GP assessment.
Tracking a referral
Once your referral has been made you will be able to see a copy of this on your NHS App. You will then be contacted by the relevant service for your appontment. Please note, GP practices have no control or influence over hospital/specialist waiting times.
If after 4 weeks you have not heard back regarding your referral, please contact NHS Care Gateway on 0161 947 0770. For any queries about your appointment, including waiting times, please see the FAQs on this website https://whileyouwait.org.uk/
