In the private sector

Patients are under GMC rules not allowed to self refer themselves to Hospital Consultants. Patients have to see their general practitioner or another medical practitioner such as a physiotherapist and they have to refer patients first. Insurance companies will not pay for care unless your GP or another practitioner has made this referal.

Transferring from the private sector to the NHS

Mr Davies and most NHS Consultants are not allowed to transfer patients that they see privately to the NHS directly. If you wish to transfer your care to the NHS this can be arranged in the NHS but where your treatment or care goes depends on your local primary care trust.

NHS Work

Childrens referals are seen by Mr Davies at Southampton General Hospital.

Adult patients are seen at the Royal South Hants Hospital.
