- Can I book an appointment directly or do I absolutely need a referral?

- Referrals are typically appropriate for adults with complex diagnostic challenges, poorly controlled chronic diseases (like advanced Cognitive Impairment & Dementia Syndromes or Chronic Liver Disease), multiple interacting medical conditions, or unexplained symptoms. For older adults, referrals are common for geriatric syndromes such as falls, memory decline, frailty, or complex medication management (Diabetes Mellitus (Type 1 & 2)). Your family doctor can best determine if a specialist consultation is needed.
