Referrals to Secondary Care
When a doctor or nurse decides to refer a patient to a hospital consultant or other clinician, they will dictate a letter or complete the appropriate form and give it to the secretary.
The referral will be processed using a system called ‘Electronic Referral System’. This enables the patient to choose which hospital/provider they would like to be seen at. The patient will be contacted by telephone by the Kernow Health Referral Management Service, who will help them choose where to be seen and arrange the appointment.
If you wish to chase a referral or enquire about waiting lists for out-patient treatment, investigations or operations please contact them direct as this is outside of our control. Contact details for consultants secretaries are often on hospital correspondence, or use the numbers listed below.
For help with transport please contact TAPS on 01872 223388 or the ambulance service on 01872 252211.
To speak to the secretary at Marazion Surgery please select option five; the line is open from 1100-1300hrs Monday to Friday.
