As part of your care with the Practice we may refer you to the hospital to see a consultant or for tests that we are unable to perform at the Practice.
If you have been referred but are yet to hear about an appointment within 4-6 weeks, below are useful numbers to contact to enquire about your appointment:
- UHL (Leicester Royal Infirmary, Leicester General Hospital or Glenfield Hospital) Outpatient Appointments – 0300 303 1563
- Radiology Department (X-ray, Ultrasound and MRI appointments) – 0116 258 8765 (select appropriate option)
- Main Switchboard for University Hospital of Leicester – 0300 303 1573
Please contact the hospital first with any queries about your appointment prior to contacting the Practice.
Two week wait referrals
If you have been referred by the Practice on to the Two Week Wait referral pathway, and you have not heard about an appointment after 10 days, please contact their booking office on 0116 250 2543.
Private referrals
If you request to be referred to one of the local private hospitals (SPIRE, NUFFIELD) you will require a supporting letter to take with you to your appointment/to book the appointment.
Once it has been agreed that a Private Referral is to be completed, please allow for 7 days for this request.
Please keep this in mind when booking an appointment, at the hospital, as we will be unable to guarantee requests for referrals at short notice.
