For clinicians

When to refer, and how

No one can know all of medicine, and some questions need a specialist's view. I write these for general clinicians. Read, ask me anything that isn't clear, and refer when you're unsure. An early referral is never wasted.

Referring a case?

Send a short clinical summary and the imaging report. I'll reach out to your patient to book a consultation and, once I've seen them, let you know the plan.

Unstable or acutely deteriorating patients: send them to the nearest emergency room.
