Can I be referred?

You can only be referred to the Peninsula Heart Clinic as an NHS patient after your referral has been reviewed by the cardiology department at Derriford hospital. This is because we work very closely with University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust and any NHS referrals from your GP or elsewhere must always be first seen (triaged) by our NHS partner. This requirement is based around patient safety to ensure patients with complex needs are separated from those with a simpler medical history.
