Enquiries / Referral for Surgery

How do I get referred for surgery?
For overseas patients who require assistance please contact the hospital direct or drop us an email for further information.
For UK patients: referral to the unit is via your GP to a Consultant. You will need to visit your GP who will refer you to one of the Shoulder Surgeons at The Berkshire Independent Hospital, passing on any relevant medical history. Your Consultant will then see you as an outpatient to discuss your case. If surgery is required a suitable date can be arranged during your outpatient consultation.
New!! for NHS patients and GPs - The Reading shoulder unit at the Berkshire Independent Hospital is now on the Choose & Book network for NHS patients.
