Referrals to CardioScope are fast and easy with flexible appointments to suit you. Typically you’ll be seen by one of our cardiology consultants within a few days of being referred.
General referrals using choose and book
If you have been referred to a hospital or clinic through the NHS e-Referral Service, booking your medical appointment online is easy, safe and secure via the NHS website.
You can also call the e-Referral Service line on 0345 6088888 from Monday to Friday between 8am to 8pm. On weekends and bank holidays from 8am to 4pm.
You will need:
The booking reference number stated on the booking letter
The password you received from your referrer such as your GP
In some cases you will have more than one hospital to choose from. If we are able to provide the cardiology service or medical treatment you need, the Duchy Hospital will be available in the list of options. The hospital choice will be the same whether you decide to book online or over the phone.
GP referrals
If you have not yet been referred and want to be seen by our cardiology consultants, you will need to speak to your GP. They will help you decide what care is best for you and make any necessary referrals. Your GP can refer you for an outpatient consultation, diagnostic test or treatment by writing to the appropriate consultant or by using the GP referral hotline.
