After your GP refers you, your care is managed by the hospital or service you have been referred to.
What happens next
The hospital or service will contact you directly about your appointment.
Waiting times can vary depending on the service.
If you feel you need to be seen quicker, you can download an expedite letter to send to the hospital here. You can either fill this in on your computer or print it out, then send to the hospital.
If you have not heard from the hospital
Please contact the hospital or service directly to check your referral.
If your condition gets worse
If your condition changes or gets worse while you are waiting, contact the practice.
Problems or delays with your Referral
