Specialist Referral
Specialist referral letter, signed by a licensed doctor
Need to see a specialist? A licensed doctor reviews your case and issues a signed referral letter — usually within 4 hours.
Many specialists — and most private clinics — require a referral letter from a doctor before they'll book an appointment, even if you're paying out of pocket. A specialist referral letter service gets you that letter without going through your usual GP, when that route would take too long or isn't available to you.
You explain which specialist you're trying to see and why, along with relevant history and any recent test results. A doctor in our clinical network reviews whether a referral is clinically appropriate for your situation — it isn't issued automatically just because it's requested. If approved, you receive a signed referral letter as a PDF, addressed to the specialist or clinic of your choice.
This is meant for cases where a referral is a reasonable next step you already know you need — not a way to skip a proper assessment. If your case needs a fuller work-up first, the reviewing doctor will tell you before recommending a consultation instead.
Who this is for
- You know you need to see a specialist but your GP referral would take weeks to arrange.
- You're self-paying for a specialist and simply need a valid referral letter to book.
- You've moved and don't have a local GP to write a referral for an ongoing issue.
- You're travelling or living abroad and need a referral letter accepted by a specialist in another country.
