A private referral letter is a formal document written by a General Practitioner (GP) or another healthcare provider to refer a patient to a specialist or private healthcare service. This letter typically includes detailed information about the patient’s medical history, current health concerns, and the reasons for the referral. It may also contain relevant test results, previous treatments, and any specific questions or considerations for the specialist.
