More information

We accept GP referrals for a full range of colorectal complaints. Our patients typically would be referred for:

  • two week wait or suspected cancer
  • rectal bleeding
  • perianal symptoms
  • change in bowel habit
  • weight loss
  • faecal incontinence
  • constipation / functional bowel disorders
  • pelvic floor disorders.

In addition, we also receive tertiary referrals from other hospitals for specialist services such as:

  • colorectal cancer surgery
  • complex inflammatory bowel surgery including pouch surgery
  • pelvic floor surgery
  • biofeedback / bowel dysfunction.

More detailed referral information specific to certain sub-specialties can be found below.  

Please identify the speciality you are referring to rather than the specific surgeon and the patient will receive the first available appointment in the most appropriate clinic.  

Referrals from other hospitals must include a completed Inter-Provider Minimum Data Set or ensure that one is sent within 48 hours of referring a patient.
