When faced with a health concern that requires specialist care, many patients in Reigate wonder whether their private GP can facilitate the referral process. The answer is a resounding yes – and the pathway is often more streamlined than you might expect.
Private GPs possess the same referral capabilities as their NHS counterparts, with the added advantage of greater flexibility and personalised care coordination. At Mayfield Clinic in Reigate, we've built our reputation on providing swift access to both NHS and private specialist services, ensuring our patients receive the expert care they need without unnecessary delays.
Your private GP referral journey offers two distinct pathways. You can be referred to NHS specialists through the standard NHS referral system, where your private GP acts as your gateway to consultant-led care. Alternatively, private GP to specialist referrals can connect you directly with our trusted network of private consultants, primarily based in Oxford and London.
The choice between these options remains entirely yours. Our Reigate-based team ensures you understand the implications of each pathway, including timeframes, costs, and treatment approaches. This transparency allows you to make informed decisions about your healthcare journey.
