Service details
Endocrinology Advice & Guidance-Royal Cornwall Hospital-REF
The Advice & Guidance Service has been established to offer advice on Endocrinology queries when direct referral into secondary care may not be necessary. This service is to help obtain non-urgent management advice from a Consultant Endocrinologist.
If a patient is already under the care of a Consultant Endocrinologist, please detail this in the request
Clinical responsibility remains with the GP until the patient is seen within secondary care.
All Advice & Guidance requests for this service must now be submitted through e-Referrals and replace the informal email service previously offered.
Please note responses to advice requests for this service will take up to 5 working days.
This service is not to be used for Lipid queries.
