Can a gp refer you to a gynaecologist in a different part of the country if you will be moving?
I just saw a gp and she was going to refer me to a gynaecologist but I said I will be moving out of the region in one month, she said she can only refer for the region we're in, so I would have to wait till I've moved, register at a new practice, get an appointment and then they will refer me to a gynaecologist. (I'm moving from Devon to London)
I wanted to try and get on the waiting list for the gynaecologist sooner rather than later, as it seems it's a long wait, can I not select a London hospital?
I'm confused about the whole right to choose thing.
Thanks!
