Can a Private GP Refer Me to a Specialist in Haywards Heath?

Access to specialist healthcare shouldn't be daunting or delayed. In fact, over 60% of complex diagnoses in the UK are made by consultants after a GP referral. If you're based in Haywards Heath and considering whether a private GP can refer you to a specialist—whether privately or via the NHS—this article provides clarity.

Your Pathway from Haywards Heath to Expert Care

At Mayfield Clinic, patients near Haywards Heath attend our state-of-the-art clinic in Horsham, receiving dedicated attention from experienced GPs. When your health requires a specialist’s opinion, our private doctors streamline referrals—quickly, efficiently, and always with your needs at the forefront. Our established referral network spans leading consultants in Oxford and London. We choose specialists not simply for their reputation, but for their proven track record in delivering patient-centred results.

How Do Private GP Referrals Work?

The process is seamless. During your appointment, if your GP feels a specialist’s input is essential, they'll involve you in every step—highlighting your options, pros and cons, and what to expect. Some patients wonder: Can a private GP refer to the NHS? Yes; you can choose between a private consultant or an NHS specialist, with your wishes respected throughout.

Every referral is documented and shared (with your consent) in detail, ensuring nothing is lost in translation, whether you see an Oxford-based cardiologist or a London dermatologist.
