Professional Referral Letters and Medical Reports Prepared by a Qualified Podiatrist

​

As part of your podiatry care, we may recommend or provide a written referral letter or clinical report to support communication with your GP or another healthcare professional.

These documents are prepared by a qualified podiatrist and are designed to ensure your wider healthcare team has clear, accurate, and clinically relevant information to support ongoing care.

 

When Might a GP Referral Letter Be Needed?

 

A referral letter or report may be required where:

• Further investigation or treatment is required through your GP

• A medical or surgical opinion is needed

• There is ongoing infection, ulceration, or non-healing pathology

• A shared-care approach is appropriate

• Supporting clinical information is requested by another healthcare provider

 

Referral letters help ensure continuity of care and timely escalation where appropriate.
