Practical questions
Do I need a referral to see Dr. James?
No. You can book directly. A referral from another doctor is welcome if you have one, but it is not required for a consultation.
Can I book for a parent or a child?
Yes. Family members often book for parents and children. For patients under 18, a parent or guardian fills the form and comes to the visit. For older parents, whoever helps them day to day is welcome to join the consultation.
How do I get my test results?
Results are explained at your review visit or, when suitable, sent by message. Every result comes with an explanation of what it means and what, if anything, changes in your plan.
Is my information private?
Yes. Enquiries go only to the practice, and the website collects the minimum needed to answer you. The privacy policy explains what is stored and for how long, and analytics run only with your consent.
