Referral information

How to refer


GP’s can refer a patient for outpatient consultation, diagnostic tests or treatments. Please take a look at our GP Referral Guide

Simply send a referral letter via our secure online system, fax or post.

In the meantime your patient can contact Renacres Hospital directly to arrange a convenient appointment. To support this we can provide notepads containing appointment numbers for you to give to your patient. 

If the patient does not contact us we will contact them to arrange an appointment according to the details provided on the referral. 

Consultations and Diagnostic Tests are usually available within 72 hours for private patients, or sooner for urgent, cancer or cardiac referrals. However patients may choose to wait for referral to a specific named consultant.
