Contacts after referrals

Your GP has referred you on for a further consultation.

If you have been referred under the 2Week Wait criteria, please call 0300 303 8360 if you have not been contacted by the clinic within 1-2 weeks, or contact our Surgery (01273 834388) and ask for the Secretaries for further assistance 

If you have a query about your routine referral, please call one of the following numbers.

GPs do not get notified when appointments are made and the Specialist Departments decide on the priority of the appointment when they triage the GP referral letter.


Please note the waiting lists for certain specialities are long at the moment  – if you want to find out where you are on the waiting list, or when your appointment is likely to be, please call 0300 303 8360
