Self Referral
Most referrals to other specialists will require you seeing or speaking with a GP. However, there are a number of local services, listed below, that you are able to make self referrals to.
Podiatry
If you are over the age of 18 you can self refer to Podiatry for foot related problems.
Please note: your referral will be rejected if it does not meet the Podiatry Service Criteria for treatment; if this is the case, you will be informed by post.

Physiotherapy helps restore movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness or disability. It can help with back pain, sudden injury and long-term medical conditions as well as childbirth and sporting injuries.
You can self-refer yourself directly by completing the self referral form you do not need to go through your doctor.
