GP Referrals
General Practitioners (GPs) play a crucial role in the initial diagnosis and management of ENT conditions. At Thompson & Sons, we collaborate closely with GPs to streamline the referral process, ensuring that patients are promptly connected with the appropriate ENT specialists. Our services cover a wide range of conditions, from chronic ear infections and sinus issues to more complex ENT disorders. By working in partnership with your GP, we ensure that your referral is handled efficiently, providing you with quick access to expert care. This collaboration helps in reducing wait times, enabling you to receive timely and effective treatment that addresses your ENT concerns comprehensively.

Our referral network ensures that you are seen by professionals who can quickly diagnose the cause of the sudden hearing loss and initiate appropriate treatment.
