I have read that as a patient I can ask for a second opinion on how to manage my large uterine mass.
I would like to talk to another consultant gynaecologist in another hospital to discuss options on managing my large uterine mass, how do I do it ?
Do I need to book an appointment with my GP to request a letter of referral ? Do I pop in to the GP Practice reception and ask for a referral ?
Do I ask my GP to transfer me as a patient from one hospital to another ? How does it work ?
I have been a patient in one hospital, there are the results of my CT investigation and my MRIs investiations and my patient notes. Do I need to request my notes and the results of my investigations to be transferred from one hospital to another if I decide to change to another gynaecology team in another hospital ? Or the hospital does everything ? How does it work ?
Also, my uterine mass is starting to get painful from time to time, shall I go to A+E to another hospital to see another consultant gynaecologist or they would not attend me without a referral from my GP if I am already a gynaecologist patient in another hospital ?
Your replies would be much appreciated, thanks,

i was sent to a different hospital a couple of years ago but the consultant at that hospital said that she could not do the procedure that i wanted so i told her i did not want what she wanted so i left it for about 2 years and suffered this time i went back to my gp who is new to our surgery so she did not know about this and i told her what had happened and asked that she sent me to a different hospital and she did so hunni i think you should go to your gp express your concerns and ask to be sent to a different hospital hope you get sorted out
take care

Hope you get the result you want it's so frustrating to be ill and know what you want and not get it some Dr's are jobs worths but some really care about what they do I found a beautiful consultant she listened and understood the pain I have suffered for so long
You take care
Big hugs

As far as i know they did not get my old notes as they were a year out of date, they did their own scans and tests. but they should be able to send over notes between hospitals.
