Private Consultant Led Referrals
Swift, consultant led referrals for scans, tests and private specialists
At Dr. S. T. Medical and Aesthetics Clinic (Birmingham), we can arrange private referral letters and investigations quickly and clearly—whether you need to see a specific consultant, access imaging (MRI/CT/ultrasound), organise blood tests, or obtain a second opinion. Our GP will provide careful assessment and will only recommend referrals when clinically appropriate.
Not an emergency. If you have severe symptoms such as chest pain, severe breathlessness, facial droop/weakness, heavy bleeding, or sudden severe headache, call 999 or go to A&E. For urgent sameday advice, contact NHS 111.
What we can refer for
Specialist consultants (e.g., cardiology, dermatology, gastroenterology, ENT, gynaecology, urology, endocrinology, rheumatology, neurology, general surgery, orthopaedics, paediatrics)
Orthopaedic knee & hip—consultant led service with over 20 years’ NHS experience; assessment plus options including PRP and steroid knee injections where appropriate
Menopause & HRT—complex case advice, sharedcare plans, onward gynaecology/endocrine referral if needed

When is a referral needed?
You may need a referral letter when:
A hospital or consultant requires GP referral before accepting appointments
Your health insurer asks for a GP letter to authorise treatment
You want GP review to confirm the most appropriate specialty or test
You need a fit note or clinical summary to support occupational health or travel
Some services allow self referral; we’ll advise when a GP letter isn’t necessary.

Book a GP consultation (in clinic or remote). We’ll take a full history, review any available previous letters/tests and examine you if needed.
