If you have been referred to have a test (eg. X ray or blood test) please make sure you contact us for the results 2-3 days afterwards either by appointment or if directed to by the doctor by phone. This is the safest way to ensure that important abnormalities are detected and followed up

We ask that you make an appointment with your doctor to have referrals, repeat prescriptions and medical certificates.  We are legally not allowed to issue backdated referrals, so please ensure you have an up to date referral before seeing your specialist.
