Triage

What to include

None of this is mandatory — a referral without it still gets seen. It simply lets us book the right appointment length and order anything missing before the patient arrives.

  • Imaging already done — and where, so we can retrieve it rather than repeat it. See the imaging-before-referral guide →
  • Conservative care tried — physiotherapy, injections, analgesia, weight and activity modification.
  • Urgency — a plain sentence is enough; it changes where the patient sits in the list.
  • Insured or self-funded — so the rooms can quote accurately at first contact.
Second opinions are welcome. If your patient is uncertain about advice they’ve had elsewhere, or a replacement they already have doesn’t feel right, refer as usual — see second opinion.

Referral sent? You’ll hear back.

Acknowledged the same day, letters within 48 hours, and every patient seen by Dr Yas personally — written down, not implied.
