We provide access to specialist consultations with experienced medical specialists. The appropriate specialist will depend on your referral and clinical needs.
When Should You Consider a Specialist Consultation?
Your GP may recommend a specialist consultation when a health concern requires further assessment, investigation or specialist medical advice.
You may be referred for specialist care when you have:
- A complex or ongoing health condition
- Symptoms that require further medical investigation
- Abnormal test or imaging results that need specialist review
- A condition requiring specialist treatment or monitoring
- A need for a second medical opinion
- An ongoing condition where specialist input may assist with your care
- A recommendation from your GP for further assessment
A specialist consultation does not replace your regular GP. Your GP can remain an important part of your ongoing care and may communicate with your specialist regarding your care and recommendations when appropriate.
