Comprehensive clinical coverage

If your condition or required discipline is not listed above, describe your symptoms when you book. Our clinical triage team will evaluate your request and match you with the most appropriate specialist, or guide you on the right care pathway.

Getting to the right clinician

You do not need to know which department you need

Many hospitals ask a patient to choose a department before any clinician has examined them. We do it the other way round: describe the problem in your own words, and we decide which specialist should see you.

  1. 1

    Describe the symptom, not the specialty

    A few plain sentences in the booking form is enough. There is no wrong way to say it.

  2. 2

    Triage reads it, not a routing rule

    A clinician decides which discipline should see you, and whether it should be sooner than you asked for.

  3. 3

    Crossing disciplines is normal

    Where two areas are involved, the specialists discuss it between them rather than passing you along.

  4. 4

    Referral out, when that is the honest answer

    If a case needs a facility we do not have, we say so and hand over properly.

Not sure which specialist you need?

That is our job, not yours. Describe what is happening and we will match you to the clinician who should be assessing it.
