Patient information
Before your appointment
We usually see patients within eight weeks of referral for routine referrals or one to three weeks for urgent referrals.
There are no restrictions on who can attend the appointment with you, however please note that space is limited. You are welcome to ask for a chaperone and we will endeavour to provide one for you.
If you are attending as an outpatient please ensure you bring any scans you have had at other clinics or external hospitals, a list of medications, cash for a prescription or an exemption card.
During your appointment
Please note that we are a teaching hospital, so medical students may be present for some appointments. If you do not wish to have them in the room please let the nurse or doctor know and the students will be asked to step outside.
Typical waiting times can be up to one hour, however this can vary. Your appointment will take between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on your requirements. During your appointment you will have a consultation with the doctor. You may also have a blood test, x-ray and plastering of fractured bones.
After your appointment
If you are referred for a scan or a six week follow up appointment, our waiting list office will be in touch with you further.

GP
Please use NHS e-Referrals to refer a patient to our orthopaedics service.
Tertiary referrals
We only accept tertiary referrals from other NHS Trusts for the following subspecialty services:
- Limb reconstruction – online via referapatient.org (select St Mary’s Hospital, Imperial College Healthcare NHS trust and Specialist Fracture)
- Pelvis & Acetabular – via email to the weekly MDT using the Pelvic trauma MDT referral form.
To avoid delay in MDT discussion, please ensure all relevant images have been transferred via IEP to Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, including the original reports.
MDT discussions take place on Tuesday mornings, and we aim to communicate outcomes to referring teams using the NHS emails provided on the same day as the MDT has occurred. Referrals received after midday on Monday may not be reviewed until the following week.
Given the recent increase in tertiary referrals, we cannot guarantee to discuss stable (incomplete, undisplaced and unilateral) LC1 injuries within a week.
Advice to weight-bear should be sought from your local orthopaedic service in the first instance, and only referred onwards should they have concerns regarding instability.
Please note that we do not discuss sacral pressure sores/OM, pelvic sarcomas or MUO, revision arthroplasty or coccydynia/coccygeal fractures.
Imperial College Healthcare Private Care
We also offer private care services at Imperial College Healthcare.
All funds generated by our private care services are reinvested back into the Trust, supporting the development of both NHS and private care for the benefit of all our patients.
