Referrals

When you need to be seen by a specialist, Pulborough Medical Group (PMG) is committed to ensuring that whenever possible you receive a timely outpatient appointment at a provider of your choice.   

In accordance with the NHS Constitution, you have the right to choose when and where you wish to be treated and in a timely manner.  Please specify your preference to the GP at your consultation.

After you have seen your GP and together you have agreed that you need to be referred for specialist treatment as an NHS patient, PMG will send on your referral request using a national online system, NHS eReferral System (eRS).

You can contact the secretaries at PMG to get an update on the progress of your referral.

Please note that NHS referrals currently have a long lead time for which the practice is not responsible.

If you would like to ask about the date of an out-patient appointment at St Richard’s, Worthing or Southlands Hospitals, you can phone their appointments hub directly on 01273 446067.
