Referral guidelines for CardioScope

Any patient that is suitable for St Michael’s Hospital in Hayle, Cornwall is normally suitable for us to treat at Duchy Hospital.

We are not able to accept referrals for people who:

  • Are under 18 years of age.
  • Have an unstable mental condition and are receiving psychiatric treatment.
  • Require surgery and have a significant medical history which would increase their clinic risk such as:
    • major cardiac problem
    • neurological disabilities
    • a BMI above 40.
  • Have complex blood disorders including haemophilia and sickle cell anemia.

If you have any queries concerning the suitability of a patient, please call our matron, Debby Blease on 01872 226 100 to discuss any health issues you feel might be relevant.

Private patient referrals

Patients for private treatment can be referred using the safe and secure online referral system.
