# GP Referrals

 Getting a referral is easy. From time to time, you’ll need to see a specialist for your next stage of treatment or further testing. We can write you an instant referral letter and send it to you via mail.

## How it works

### Book an appointment

Search for your GP surgery, create your account and see a doctor the very same day, at a time and place to suit you.

### See a doctor online

At the time of your appointment, you will talk face-to-face with a UK NHS-trained GP, who if required will then refer you to a specialist.

### Get your referral

Once your appointment concludes, the GP will organise your referral letter to be sent instantly by email or first-class post.

Our doctors can issue referral letters quickly, helping you get to the next stage of your treatment or assessment as soon as possible. While going through your regular GP could take weeks, our doctors can send out detailed referral letters within minutes after your consultation ends. If you think you’ve got a medical issue that needs specialist attention, speak to one of our online GPs now.
