Our Specialist Referral service allows you to obtain a private GP referral letter to see a medical specialist quickly and conveniently. Following an online consultation, one of our GMC-registered GPs will assess your symptoms, review your medical history, and issue a referral letter where clinically appropriate. This service is ideal if you are self-funding your care or have private medical insurance and wish to progress your treatment without delay.

Your doctor may issue a private referral during the consultation if it is clinically appropriate.
A specialist referral is a formal letter from a GP requesting that a medical specialist assesses or treats you for a specific health concern. Many private specialists and insurers require a GP referral before offering an appointment.
Not always, but many private consultants and private medical insurers do require a GP referral. We recommend checking with the specialist clinic or your insurer in advance.
You will have a secure video consultation with one of our GMC-registered GPs. During the consultation, the GP will assess your symptoms, discuss your medical history, and determine whether a specialist referral is clinically appropriate.
If a referral is appropriate, your referral letter is usually issued shortly after your video consultation and sent to you digitally.
Yes. If you already have a specific private specialist or clinic in mind, we can address the referral letter accordingly. Alternatively, we can provide a general referral suitable for private specialist care.
No. This service provides private GP referral letters only. We do not submit referrals directly into the NHS system.
Referral letters are issued based on clinical judgement. If a referral is not considered appropriate, the GP will explain the reasons and advise on alternative next steps.
Simple. Fast. Efficient. We have streamlined the process.
