2. Will I need a GP referral if I need surgery?

For most procedures, a GP referral is required. Your GP has access to your medical history, which will not only benefit you but will also be helpful to your consultant and us. If you have private medical insurance your insurer will usually require a GP referral. We advise you to contact your insurance company first.
