Do I need a medical referral?

For most tests, yes. If you do not have a referral, you can book a General Practice appointment and the doctor will assess which tests make sense for your situation.

It depends on the tests requested: some require fasting and others do not, and the required time varies. Call us before you come and we will confirm what your referral requires.
