Private and NHS consultants, including urgent cancer referrals
Paper or electronic scripts, with home delivery option
Repeat prescriptions and transition to NHS GP where appropriate
Referral letters and prescriptions issued during your consultation are part of your appointment, not an extra.
We work closely with both private and NHS consultants across a wide range of medical and surgical specialties. Onward referrals can usually be arranged during your appointment.
If you’d prefer the NHS route, we can write directly to the relevant service, helping you avoid an extra trip to your NHS GP solely to request a referral.
