GP Referrals/specialist hosp appointments and moving out of area

2.7K Posts


Good afternoon,
I am currently awaiting a specialist referral (appointment is coming up in two months) - but it appears i will have moved out of the area, about 100 miles away - by the time the appointment comes up
What is the process here, do i need to go to a new GP in new area and ask them to re-refer me in their area? as have already had quite a wait, but unsure if this gets sent to a specialist in my new area or what happens

Yes, you will have to start over with a new GP referral, unfortunately the old consultant / GP don't transfer you to someone within your new location.
Either way you will got the bottom of the list in the new area + esentially start again
