Referrals
SELF REFER
If you’re a self funding patient then you don’t need a referral to see one of our practitioners. Just contact us directly to make an appointment*
However if you’d like to use your medical insurance, then the terms of your policy may require a referral and you are advised to check. Since some of our practitioners only work with a limited number of insurers, please let us know at the time of booking if you’d like to use your insurance.
REFER A PATIENT
If you’re a practitioner with a patient you’d like to refer or if you have a difficult clinical case that you need some advice on, we’d be happy to help.
We respect existing relationships between patients and practitioners and know that patients value continuity. So we’re happy to work with you because our multidisciplinary ethos and approach doesn’t just extend to our in-house team.
ONWARD REFERRAL
If as a patient you require treatment elsewhere then we have an extensive network of professional contacts built up over many years of experience.
Sometimes onward referral is needed for conditions which are beyond our scope of treatment (e.g. if you need a surgical opinion from a Consultant Surgeon). However, there can be other reasons. It might be the case that following treatment here you’d like to have rehab input closer to home, or you’d like to see someone whom you’ve seen previously even if this was for another condition. Whatever the circumstances, we are happy to assist in making onward referrals.
* Appointments to see one of our specialist doctors or for podiatry/chiropody can be booked directly through us. This is best done by telephoning us on 01943 850950
