I have been referred to Rheumatology by my GP or specialist – when should I expect to receive an appointment?

If you have been referred by your GP they will have automatically made you an appointment via the “Choose and Book” system, though please note this is subject to change and the RMC may contact you to change this.

If referred by another speciality the Consultant will triage your referral and decide whether you need to be seen routinely or urgently and an appointment will subsequently be made and sent to you via post.
