Your Referral

Once your referral is received from your GP practice, it will be reviewed by the Referral Management Centre (RMC). Their trained staff will ensure that all the necessary information is gathered to process your referral to the outpatient department. The RMC will then contact you to offer options for where you would like to be seen, depending on the type of referral. Please note that some referral pathways, such as those for suspected cancer, specific commissioned pathways, emergency care, certain diagnostic procedures, or referrals for armed forces personnel, may not allow patient choice.

The Your Referral page will provide you with all the essential information needed to help you manage your referral as a patient.
