How Specialist Referrals Work
Our service ensures every referral is handled with care, precision, and a focus on continuity:
Initial Assessment by Geriatrician The geriatrician reviews your health and identifies conditions that may require specialised care, like heart, bone, or neurological concerns.
Identifying the Appropriate Specialist Based on your specific needs, we recommend trusted experts such as cardiologists, neurologists, or orthopaedic surgeons.
Coordinating the Referral We handle the referral process, sharing medical records, test results, and care plans with the specialist to ensure continuity.
Specialist Appointment and Evaluation You attend the specialist consultation, where further evaluations or treatments are discussed to address your concerns.
Follow-Up and Care Plan Integration After the consultation, the geriatrician integrates the specialist’s recommendations into your overall care plan, ensuring cohesive treatment.
Ongoing Communication Between Providers Open communication between your geriatrician and specialist ensures all aspects of your health are effectively managed.
