Conversion of NHS to Private
To convert NHS referrals to Private referrals, please contact reception who will inform the secretaries. Please note:
1. The letter will take up to 3 days to generate and you will need to collect it from reception.
2. For insurance purposes, you can still see the consultant without the referral letter and be covered by your insurance company as long as you forward the letter once generated to the consultant. Please see the chart below that shows how NHS referral is processed.
