Referral Expectations
You may be referred to me by your General Practitioner (GP) if you have a problem with any part of your endocrine system (the system that makes hormones). I will also accept self-referrals.
Regardless of the mode of referral it is helpful if you remember to bring a detailed list of all your medications (drug names and doses) and also any other information (e.g. blood results, scans and reports, previous specialist letters) which will assist me in providing a full and detailed assessment of your case.
You may be asked to undergo some tests before seeing the specialist to help with the diagnosis.
Subsequently, you may have ongoing follow-up with the specialist or have your treatment carried out by your GP with advice from the specialist.
