Hi! I have a dear old friend that went to see a Specialist recently and was told that he needed a new referral. He had previously had an "indefinite" (funny word in this instance) referral but was told it has been over 12 months since your last visit so it is no longer valid.
I think we need clarity around this. We all hand over these indefinite referrals to make life easier for ourselves and the staff at the specialists office however the interpretation differs!
As we know when you are in active treatment the last thing you want is to be bogged down with paperwork and having to do return visits unnecessarily.
