Just wondering how UK people have gone about getting referred to a specialist. Theres a specialist centre about an hour away from where I live, but everytime I’ve been referred anywhere its always been to a local hospital. Can i request the specialist unit when i see my GP? Ive only been dealing with the treatment side of things for less than two years so i still dont really know anything about whats possible and what isnt..
Can you ring this specalist centre yourself and make an appointment?
I would ring them and see what they can do to help. x
Thank you! Im hoping i wont need scans and stuff again as the ones i had never showed anything anyway, but they found a lot during my surgery.. ill try to get in asap but i think referrals are quite a long wait :(
My doctor sent me to a local hospital to have scans done then after the results came back (nothing showed) they sent me back to the hospital where I saw a specialist there.
Good luck with everything I hope your not waiting to long!
Well I was in Preston and they just sent me to the gynae department at the hospital. Im in lincoln now and im hoping that if i go and see my GP here, he can refer me to the endo centre in Hull..
Ill try calling them. Ive requested to join that group, I’m just waiting to be accepted. I was thinking about going private but it’ll be super expensive as our insurance doesnt cover chronic conditions.. ill wait to look at the list of specialists, thank you!
