  • anyone with respiratory conditions.
  • Anyone with neurological conditions.
  • Anyone needing post amputation services (requires a specialist referral) 
  • Anyone under 16 years old.

Consult your GP or NHS 111 urgently if you have recently or suddenly developed any of the following:

  • Difficulty passing urine or controlling bladder/bowels
  • Numbness or tingling around the back passage or genitals
  • Numbness, pins and needles or weakness in both legs.

Discuss with your GP before submitting a referral if you:

  • Are feeling generally unwell or have a fever
  • Have any unexplained weight loss
  • Have a history of cancer
