Referral

Categories:

Hi all,

I am currently under a consultant at my local hospital.

I was wondering if anyone knows where/who to ask for a referral to a centre of excellence?

There is a centre of excellence in my city and as my case is not straight forward I thought I might possibly benefit from being under a centre of excellence but no idea of how to go about it.

Thanks in advance

Hi Sarah.  Can you ask your local consultant about a referral?  I am dealt with locally for prescribing Nilotinib and normal blood tests but i go to a centre of clinical excellence every 6 months for the PCR test and a chat with a consultant there.

Ok thanks. I'll ask her...I just wasn't too sure whether it's my GP I ask .

Thanks for the reply

I think you just call there or write to the mail and take a referral to a doctor.

Hi there,

Your GP can make the referral if you find that it might be a more difficult conversation with your current haematologist.
