Prostate Cancer London sees both insured and self-paying patients. If you are insured, your insurer will usually want a GP referral and an authorisation code before the appointment. Tell the team when they call and they will help you through it.
No. A self-paying patient does not need a referral. If you have recent blood test results or scan reports, bring them with you.
