Referrals

You don't always need to see a Doctor for a referral.  Where you have seen a professional such as an optician, we can create a referral without needing you to make and appointment.   There are also a number of local services for self-referrals if you meet certain criteria, again, you do not need an appointment to access these services.  If you are having trouble finding an appropriate option, please call the practice reception on 0191-373-2077.

Please raise a request through eConsult with your details if you have been referred by Opticians, Podiatry and Audiometry professionals. You will only be contacted if there are any queries.

If you are looking to access specialist treatment through private healthcare, we will need to create a specialist referral letter. Please raise an eConsult in the first instance with as much information as possible, or make an appointment with a Doctor to discuss further.

Please provide as much information as possible through eConsult. For straightforward referrals such as a sports injury, it may be possible to refer without an appointment. If an appointment is required, then the surgery will contact you to discuss further.

If you feel that you are suffering from a musculoskeletal complaint that could benefit from Physiotherapy, you are now able to make a direct referral to the County Durham Integrated MSK Service (CD IMS). This offers patients greater choice and faster access to hospital services without the need to visit your GP.

Please use the link below to access the self-referral service or call on the following number 01388 455 200

Please provide information on why you need a referral for the Dietician services through eConsult. Please provide your height, weight and why you need a dietician.

Self-Referrals

All of the services below can be used with a self-referral if you meet the criteria listed.  If you do not meet the criteria or do not think you are eligible for self-referral, then you may still be eligible to use the service but would need to discuss with a Doctor your circumstances - in this case please raise an eConsult with your details.
