At Brixton Hill Group Practice, we believe in empowering patients to take control of their health. That’s why we offer self-referral options for certain services.
What is self-referral?
Self-referral allows you to directly access specialised care without the need for a referral from your GP. Whether you’re seeking physiotherapy, mental health support, or maternity services, you can take the initiative to schedule an appointment yourself. By offering self-referral pathways, we aim to streamline the process and ensure that you receive the care you need in a timely manner.
