Specialist and Hospital care

home_visit If a GP or another member of our health care team believes you need hospital treatment or specialist care elsewhere, they will ask you where and when you would like to go for this treatment.

They can then book your appointment electronically while you wait. If you would prefer to have some time to think before deciding where and when to have treatment, you will be offered the option of calling the practice later and we will be able to book your appointment then or you can ring a booking centre.
