Gynaecology

Hi...

How do you go about booking for a gynaecologist, do you always need to be referred via GP or can you just book appointment yourself??

I've always been referred whether that's by the NHS or through private gp. Not sure if you could go private and book however!

I had to be referred by gp.

If you go private then you can usually book an initial consultation online or call them up. They'll provide information on how much the consultation will cost and the types of payment plans they have.

I was referred to Gynae by the GP. Was seen in 8 weeks.

Thank you! I've only been referred through nhs or private gp so good to know if needed in future.

phone the clinic you intend to use for advice

my usual one never takes anyone without GP referral but another one i had to use was ok to just see the consultant for an initial one

I’ve recently been referred through gp. I have a 58 week wait before I even get an appointment!

I got referred via my GP. I was fast tracked (due to the severity of the issue) and was seen within 2 weeks but I know from other peoples experiences if it's not as urgent the wait can be quite long. I hope you're ok.
