Fast Track Referral

A fast track referral happens when your GP has concerns that your symptoms might suggest cancer. They make a referral to the hospital and an appointment to see a specialist is usually arranged within two weeks.

The hospital will contact you by telephone to schedule the appointment or any tests you might need.

If you do not hear back within 2 weeks, or you are developing worsening symptoms, then please contact the practice. More information about your referral can be found at:
