Referrals made to the practice are seen by the oncologist on call that week.

All new patient referrals are triaged by the oncologist before an appointment is made for your patient.

The oncologist will respond to the new referral within 1-3 working days. Your patients will be notified about an appointment time by phone and sent a pre-appointment letter by mail.

The oncologist will correspond with you via regular letters and we will contact you if your patient does not attend their initial appointment.
